And then there were two

The three baby killdeer that we had in the garden are now two. We think the hawk got one of them the other day. We did manage to get some slightly blurry photos – they run very fast!

This is mum

And her two remaining babies

Mum and dad are staying close to them and if anything threatens them they run away from the babies and play injured. They roll around on the ground as if they have broken wings to attract predators away from the babies – it is very entertaining to watch.

We also have pics of the make & female grosbeak we have now acquired. The male is stunning with his flash of red, but the female is pretty dowdy by comparison.




We also have a new robin’s nest under our upper deck. They literally built the nest in a day and have lined it with mud. We can see the nest from our family room, but can actually see inside it if we look through the gaps in the deck from above. So far there is nothing to see, but we will definitely be keeping an eye on it from now onwards.
