Killdeer

So, this isn't necessarily garden related, but it's cool nonetheless.

I've known for years that Cale has a pair of resident Killdeer.  Last weekend a pair of babies hatched in one of our courtyards.

Here is a link to some information about our feathered friends.

Actually it is garden related.  Gardens make great habitats for wildlife.  Now, the Killdeer isn't nesting in the garden, but the gardens can bring in food for the Killdeer.

We're not kidding when we "protective."
Can you see the baby?

Momma (or Dad, I'm not sure)  hiding out in the gravel.


Some Killdeer facts.

Momma again.
