Killdeer Nest


I walked down below our property this morning on the look out for sparrows and warblers. I wasn't disappointed when I saw two Savannah Sparrows (50) feeding in the Knapweed and grass on the slope. An adult Bald Eagle was soaring overhead.


In the area I saw the Killdeer earlier this week I looked carefully for a nest, not really expecting to find it. So, I was surprised when I did!
White-crowned Sparrows and Song Sparrows were also about. A Red-tailed Hawk circled overhead and a Northern Shrike made a brief appearance. The chittering of the Tree Swallows are constant as they check out the nest boxes. Glad to have them back.
