The Killdeer Story

There is a strip in the back garden where a Killdeer seems to have taken up residence.  Dwayne has chosen to not disturb the family, even though it's really bothering him that he can't till that area!  We have closed in on her quite a bit,  but she still has a respectable amount of space.  I think these are just some really great pictures of her and the eggs.  Killdeer pretend they are injured to lure predators away from their nest.  A very unique survival technique.
