I was sitting outside tonight, and a Kildear (not sure of spelling - they're birds with long legs) came down the driveway, and lay down in about 3 different spots in the grass, spread her wings, chirping. I know they pretend to be wounded to draw preditors away from a nest, anyway, then it left. Came back, with a friend. They walked around, looked at us, left again. Came back with 4 little chicks, soooo cute, about 2 or 3 inches tall, and they walked down the driveway with the little ones following. Too cute!
Then we ran to the local little grocery, and on the way home saw about a dozen deer in the field down the road from my house. I thought the neighbors had scared them away what with the 4 wheelers and guns, but there they were one road over.
Cool night!
Just wanted to share.

That is awesome that you were able to see the Kildeer with their chicks. :) My son is obsessed with Kildeer and he would have loved to see that!

A few weeks ago, my husband was walking toward the barn and stopped fast. A female bobcat was with her three babies .Terry said they were so cute.They took off when they saw my hubby. All but one , just stood there for few seconds and took off . I've seen bobcats before, but never babies. Marlee

I've seen those little birds; pretending to be hurt and making a lot of noise to keep others away. Cute!

That's pretty special to have the Kildeer parents allow their chicks to come so close! I've seen plenty of the pretend wounded birds but never any chicks! Treasure that memory.
