Nest and eggs of a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)
This killdeer nest of nothing more than a shallow depression in the gravel, was found a busy marina parking lot. The owners of the marina placed cinder blocks around the well-camouflaged nest to prevent cars from running over the eggs. The killdeer mother was standing nearby when this photo was taken. This photo was taken in Easton, MD on May 22, 2014.
