Camping Killdeer
Mar 18, 2019 21:01:48 #
On a recent camping trip to NC, this bird had laid three eggs in the gravel, in one of the camping sites and dared anyone to come near.
After researching, it is typical for a killdeer to nest this way. As they lay the eggs, they don't start incubating until all eggs are laid, in 22-28 days all eggs hatch close to the same time.
Killdeer chicks hatch with a full coat of buffy down feathers and a single black breast band. They can walk out of the nest as soon as their feathers dry.
