Scrambling about down at the creek, making mom and dad killdeer crazy

See 'em - there are three of them

Nest is gone, don't know what happened.

 

[Marilynne]

Still waiting for these eggs to hatch.

Eggs and momma gone. Some one said a raccoon has been out and about.

 

[Marilynne]

Another first for me, I've never seen a Moorhen sitting on a nest. I saw one egg, but was told there are six to eight eggs in there. The nest is not in a great spot.

This nest is gone also. Some one saw the raccoon eating the eggs.

TriColor Heron nest about two feet from the boardwalk. Had to really back up for this shot, then crop out the blurry rail.

Another nest and eggs gone.
