Killdeer Nest

A couple of killdeer were sounding the alarm in my barnyard this morning when I went out to my car parked on my nearby driveway, so I starting looking for a nest. I almost stepped on this one -- they camouflage well! I was so excited to find it. I hadn't seen a killdeer nest since I was in sixth grade, and that was A LONG TIME AGO! If you look closely, you can find small bits of metal barn roofing, alumninum foil and baling twine they found to construct their nest.
