Killdeer, Kentucky, United States of America
Killdeer Protecting Nest

Species: Killdeer | Location: Kentucky, United States of America

This killdeer laid several eggs in the gravel in an empty lot in our subdivision. If anything approached the area where the eggs were laid, the killdeer would run away from the nest and pretend it was injured.
