When I pulled in the other day there was a bird that kept chirping at me and acting wierd. I got set up and then checked my bird book and discovered that it was a kildeer. Evidently they fake a broken wing to distract you from the nest.
I went outside and looked for a nest and did not find one and was very confused as to its actions. Gene, my nephew, came over and I was telling him about it and we went out and he found the egg. It was just laying there among the rocks in the space next door.
So now when I go out I make sure not to upset the mother bird. She just sits on the egg even in the heat of the day. There are not trees around the park so I was suprised to see a nesting bird.
