Growing up we had kildeer in our pasture all the time - I loved seeing them, listening to them and watching their prey posturing. So cool. So when we moved, I missed them. Every once in a while we'd see them at Papa's, but I don't remember them often until recently. So, it was such a pleasant surprise last Wednesday to see a pair along the path at the cemetary! They seem smaller, though, so maybe it's a young pair.
Anyway, today's walk was even better! We started up the path and see the one bird posturing for us to follow him, while the other one heads off the other direction. I was watching her (we stay on the path so I wasn't too worried about stepping on her eggs, but it's habit from before) and saw THREE TINY little chicks running with her! OMG, so cute!!! Nate was happy watching the one on the left and he never saw the babies. So, their plan does work! ;D
