Normally by now killdeer would be at the age where the young would have fli=
ght. The exhibition for Bridgewater starts tomorrow. Normally a pair of k=
illdeer nest on the grounds and the young are at the point where they can f=
ly=2C so usually this is not a problem. This is not the case this year. T=
he pair have four young and they would need a week or a week and a half yet=
before flight. I watched the one adult today with the four young. Someon=
e had two dogs and was throwing a ball for the dogs and the adult killdeer =
as you can imagine was freaking out. She successfully led the young away f=
rom the dogs and had them by the road when I walked by. The exhibition off=
icially starts tomorrow and set-up is still ongoing. It is in the area whe=
re the adult killdeer and young usually tend. The parking area will be ful=
l where they could go when activity is on the grounds=2C but tomorrow that =
area will be occupied and there will be people activity all over the place.=
I suspect the young will not make it through the week. We shall see what=
happens though. =20
