How many of you have seen Killdeer (not a deer killed) close-up during nesting season.
Personally, I think they were shorted on survival skills. How many birds do you know that can fly and still decide to lay their eggs on the ground? Other than chickens and turkeys, can't say I know too many myself.
Have you tried to sneak up on their nest?
Isn't it amazing how they feign being injured (acting like they have a broken wing)? ...All this to lead you away from their nest of eggs on the ground. Last year a snake got 2 of their eggs.
This year they survived the plowing.
The Chimney Swifts are back this year. It's about time too, the mosquitos have been after my flesh for the past 3-4 weeks now.
The Swifts are like bats, flying around at dusk, eating bugs in the air. Go get that big fat mosquito ...it's got my blood.
