"Cool" describes it pretty well.
Last year I did a post about the Killdeer family that was in our backyard. Click on the link to read it and see the pictures. Guess we made them feel right at home because they're back.
Our first day home we immediately went to the windows and opened all the blinds. As soon as we did the Killdeer started making all kinds of commotion.They were screeching and running all around the back yard.
Sure enough, they've made their nest in the rocks surrounding our patio.
They are sitting on four eggs! They do take turns sitting on the nest and they are a bit more comfortable with our presence but we are delaying putting any furniture on the patio until the big hatch is over.
I think this is perhaps the most pathetic" bird picture" that I've ever taken. Click on the picture to make it larger.
In just this one week, this poor mom has had to endure thunder, lightening, rain, wind, frost and the two of us cleaning out the flower beds!
Obviously she thought this was the perfect location to raise her young.
