We have been watching a killdeer in our driveway, waiting for her eggs to hatch. Our next door neighbors have kids that are, shall we say, not the best behaved. They have thrown rocks at her, taken one of the eggs, (David chased him down and put it back) and generally disturbed her. I was starting to get really ticked off. What possesses some kids to just be so dang mean? I mean honestly, the birds nest was on my property and these kids think they can just come on over and have at it? But I digress...
Yesterday evening the kids came in all excited because they saw the babies! We went out and saw that two of the eggs had hatched. The shells were still in their tiny little fuzz. One egg remained, the one that was taken, and we were worried it wouldn't hatch. But it hatched this morning. We were so excited! They were running all over the yard. So cute!
