Killdeers as alarm clocks....


Today started out with approximately 50 killdeer shooting past the front of my tower in a noisy group...effectively simultaneously waking me up, and giving me a heart attack. RR2 appeared to feel the same way, as she alarm called at them as they rocketed past.
Shortly after the avian wake-up call,
HBS disappeared down her burrow. I sincerely hoped that she was going down to have her babies, but she was up at 1:20....which then led me to hope that she already had them, and was going down to nurse them. I have yet to get a adequate look at her nipples, and do not know if they are distended...I guess at this point only time will tell....
