We have a lady killdeer who nests in my work parking lot every year and I love her so much.

Oh heck something happened to the killdeer nest. The eggs are missing and the parents are nowhere to be found. There's no sign of the eggs having hatched either. I just saw the mother yesterday evening and now she's gone, along with her mate.

I love this killdeer so much.

Look at her go! What a great mom. Her mate was doing the same thing a bit further away too. I'm excited for when their chicks hatch. :)

I feel so bad for a killdeer that lives near me, she lives right by a bus stop, like, literally right next to the bus stop. She's sitting on four eggs and the people that own the property she's nesting on don't care about her because "there's tons of those birds on the property." I'm just so worried that they're going to get mowed over, or taken by the kids from the bus. It's a dangerous world for a ground-nesting bird.
