Killdeer Chicks



We have new neighbors down the street.





A pair of  killdeer and their four new chicks have taken residence.



They are so much fun to watch. The babies hatch running and looking for food.



They are a couple of weeks old in these photos, and can they ever scramble.
The mother and father are always close and watching. If you get too near they will suddenly develop a broken wing and thrash around on the ground, leading you away from the nest.
