Saturday afternoon, I was at Knoxville's Island Home Airport and saw a family
of Killdeer - Mom, Dad, and three babies - scurrying around in the grass near
the Remote Area Medical hangar. They were in the same area early Sunday
morning, too. The airport is a great habitat for them.
Last week, my husband observed two male and one female bluebirds in the area of
one of the nest boxes we have put up at the airport. I've heard of the young
from the first brood helping with the second, but this is surely the first
nesting for the year. This box is near the light tower and easily viewable
from the parking lot.
