Remember our little nest of eggs? Well, they hatched! Killdeer birds are special in that once their wings dry (after hatching) they are able to run! All four survived (we were so happy!) despite the terrible storms we had. Here is one of the little cuties in action...
This picture shows the Mom and one of her babies...
I truly thought the eggs would hatch and we would never see the babies. It was so special being able to witness this miracle...
That is so cool! Those little babies are so darling!
ReplyDeleteAdorable...your pics are awesome!!

ReplyDeletehow adorable is that! I'm glad they all survived and you got to see them

Nothing sweeter than baby birds...awww!
ReplyDeleteLori, that is just so cool that you got to see the little Killdeer babies! I love to watch them at the beach running around the sand. I actually thought they were sandpipers at first but no they were killdeers. Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteGOD'S little miracles! It's amazing how nature works! We have blue birds nesting on our front porch in an old birdhouse I have had for yeras. The babies are born now, this is very rare in Michigan to have them so close to your house! We are blessed!! and so are you! Fran.
ReplyDeleteLori... How CUTE is that... The babies are adorable!

What a special gift to be there to see them! Boy, are they adorable!
ReplyDeleteOmgosh, that is so awesome! IT is great to know they are all healthy and happy! Enjoy them before they fly away!
ReplyDeleteOOH my goodness how adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable!! Makes me want my own nest :) Sometimes I'm tempted to let my chickens (3 girls and 1 oops she's a boy ;) hatch one of their eggs, so I can have a chick again!!
How cute! Were you able to get very close? I know momma Killdeer birds can be very protective and loud when you get close to their nest. . .
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a baby kildeer...we have tons of larger ones but no babies...enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a great 4th of July holiday
