IGNORANCE IS BLISS
The little Killdeer that I saw today may not have the most comfortable nest,
but it gets an A+ for great camouflage for its eggs! Its choice for nest location,
however, leaves a lot to be desired; it laid its eggs about 12 inches from the sidewalk,
a couple of feet from a door, in the parking lot of... "archery headquarters!"
I wonder how many times a day this Killdeer has to use the "broken wing act"
that these birds are notorious for. As we admired it, and I took the photos,
one thought raced through my mind... if that bird only understood how many
hunters walk past it each day...cringe! Ignorance can be bliss :)
The cute bird is under the middle shrub :)
