Fire Alarms

 David shared this shot yesterday.  Look closely inside the curve of the white stick and you'll see four eggs. 

Can't pick them out?  Try this picture.

Well disguised and, as David says, in the loading dock they're probably safe from coyotes and racoons (and, heaven forbid, skunks), but I think that heavy footed truck drivers may be a different threat.  Hope for the best Killdeer!

Last year there were five nesting pairs of Kildeer on the property and they often have more than one brood during the summer.  So far this year we have discovered two nests - very likely more to come.

The TV picture quit on us today.  So we've brought the smaller one into the living room from the bedroom.  

But, in the grand scheme of things we've still got it good.  In comparison, Mardi had a phone call today from Joyce, who is in need of some clothes.  Major fire in their complex yesterday - water damage in her apartment - and she can't return until at least Monday.  Got out with her purse and a fireman retrieved her meds.  Seems to be taking it with good humour.  Good luck Joyce!

I did get to the greenhouse today. Put in a couple of hours spreading wood chips and cutting grass.  No wildlife sightings.

Keep laughing and stay well.
