I have always thought the sounds of killdeer are extremely annoying...
Half my garden has been left as it was last fall - covered in a mixture of leaves, grass clippings, composted manure, etc. It has been awaiting the warm weather crops - pumpkins, summer squash, watermelon (another thanks to Jal_UT), cantelope, etc. It's about a 30'X40' section...pretty big.
But now the area seems much smaller as it's being shared with the Killdeer and a couple eggs. I am getting VERY tired of their screeching and fake-injury-wing-flopping whenever I'm in the garden. OK...the fake injury thing is kinda cool. BUT there is no more relaxing in the garden! It's a constant SCREECH SCREECH (hey look at me) SCREECH! I wanted to "relocated" the eggs but my wife (and my conscience) won't let me. I was working the area today trying to stay away and the one time I forgot I came within an inch (no exaggeration) of stepping on the eggs...
I looked it up...28 days until they hatch...let the count down begin...
