[Flickr] innisfree farm wants you to see somethingCosby Hwy, Newport, Cocke Co Sun a m, 3/29/09 The Killdeer is still sitting on eggs. (3 wks now) I captured photos of both birds Sun a.m. defending the nest and feigning injury. (Link below) One tried to lead me away from the nest by going one direction, then another. When that didn't succeed, the other bird came to the nest and put on a brave front, while the first one was still acting crippled in the flowerbed. If anyone would like, I can send a CD of all the photos original size (many more than the sample on Flickr.)
