Last year there was a Ki
lldeer nest in the gravel next to a delivery ramp in a large corp
orate park that I photographed. I went back again this year to see if the nesting pair returned and from a distance was disappointed to see they had removed the gravel and put in sod, as I got closer I noticed a tiny patch of gravel remained. I am impressed !

It is so awesome that "they" were thoughtful enough to leave some habitat for the Killdeer. I hope you get to watch/monitor/photogra​ph the nesting process . . . wouldn't it be great to be there when one of the eggs hatches?!


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Very heartwarming report Len; and it's nice to see someone had their head on straight and their heart in the right place.
Hope you get a chance to give us updates as time progresses.
