They would run along just in front of you (me riding a bicycle) getting you farther and fartner away from their nest in the gravel. Upon closer examination, the spotted color of their eggs blended in perfectly with the gravel along the edge of the roads. I like their songs too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907775548207024225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-86564379755287240522015-05-29T16:02:21.196-04:002015-05-29T16:02:21.196-04:00I swear those Killdeer are the dumbest birds ever....I swear those Killdeer are the dumbest birds ever.

Right now i have an Indian Myenah and a pigeon lay eggs in a small home they have made in each of my bathroom exhaust fans outlet ( it is common here in India ). I appreciate the fact that, at least, a caution sign is put across to mark the safety of the bird, eggs and humans.

Some just in a bare spot in the middle of our yard in the complete open. Really? So I'd mow around it! But all the silly places has played a toll, we don't have any more Killdeers around, and it's sad. I just adored hearing them and seeing them visit.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-23790972695172982632015-05-20T11:15:10.109-04:002015-05-20T11:15:10.109-04:00Maybe she couldn't wait!
