Showing Off Her Eggs
When I came back down the path, the killdeer stood up to keep an eye on me. This let me see that she has 4 eggs under her. Killdeer will lay one egg a day until they have 4. Then they start brooding. Waiting until all eggs are here, ensures that all the chicks hatch at the same time.
