Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)Observer
markolivierDescription
while walking to my butterfly fields, I noticed a young shorebird standing atop the berm which protects the fuel storage facility. I took a few moments to take frames of two adults and at least two young Killdeer and they wondered off from the nest area. Later I spoke with the maintenance man (grass-cutter) for the property and he told me that they nest on the grounds each year. When I becomes aware of where the current nest is, he marks it and does not mow near it.
