    Hi Lesley,
    Thank you for the great photo. I’ve yet to find a Killdeer nest. Lucky you and good eyes.
    Regarding the nests being crushed, I don’t know the situation where you are, but perhaps this might help.
    A man in Pinehurst, NC, wrote that the golf course crew put up some kind of wooden barrier with small flags to mark the nest until the young were gone.
