Bird Watching: My killdeer, 1 by grampapa

We had a pair of killdeer nest in the river rock that surrounds our inground pool last year. What a treat! We knew they were back and I suspected they were the same pair. Yesterday I was out watering some new plantings and doing some other things in my yard. One of them, probably the female was putting on quite a show... the whole broken wing dance, different songs than usual. Sure enough, one perfect killdeer egg in the same nest as last year. We didn't even find them last year until after all 4 were laid, so I'll be able to keep better track this time.
