The
killdeer is not often seen in our
residential area, but is most likely to be heard as it flies
over. They are frequently seen in open areas of parks and school
grounds.
A
nearby rail right of way makes an
excellent nesting place for killdeer. They nest on the bare
ground. Their eggs and young look like gravel.
See
how
long it takes you to find the
bird in this picture. How much does looking at the enlarged
picture help? If you don't see the killdeer, look at the next
picture, and then back to this one.
When
the killdeer stood up and
stretched its neck it became much more visible. Now you should be
able to find it in the previous picture.
