We have one that lays right in the middle of the road in the gravel. The traffic does not bother her much, but the road grader is a different story. Those little guys are cute, they look like little cotton balls on sticks.

We've had them lay eggs at work on our gravel roof, 5 stories up.

Killdeer nests in Bad locations have been successfully moved to safer one about 15' at a time. Has to be done by the proper authorities.


I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

I was filling up a field to plant sweet corn Saturday. There was a nesting killdeer in open ground 75 feet from where I was working. It never budged.

Killdeer like to lay their eggs right on a gravel bar near the water. Have seen them many times near my house in an industrial park where I run my Beagles. Fun to watch them try to fake us out and lead us away.
Interesting note: Industrial parks buildings have huge flat roofs with rubber sheeting and it's held down with rounded creek grave, and, as it's not perfectly flat, the roofs will collect standing water and the Killdeer will nest on those roofs, just like a gravel bar. The new style electronically welded plastic materials are not useful to them, and their numbers are dwindling in the urban areas.


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
