Day 289


Squatter, originally uploaded by Shutterbug Cel.

This not so bright mama bird has decided to nest on the patch of rocks leading to our RV pad. Right out in the open. She gets all in a tizzy anytime anyone nears her nest and does the whole "broken wing" act. We have decided to just let her be. Any idea how long it takes for baby Kill Deer to hatch?

Sounds like 24 - 28 days. Me I knew NOTHING about killdeers, so thanks for the education. :)
