Kildeer

Amazing camouflage.

We came across this nest a day ago. It is very amazing how the eggs are so well hidden in plain sight. I am not sure if this is a viable nest as there were no signs of the adults. I will check again tomorrow.

This would be the second set of eggs for the season. I love how at the end of the summer, there are kildeer all over the farm, each practicing its acting. It is like being surrounded by a thousand tiny ham actors, all trying to lure you away with their broken wings.
