Baby Killdeer Bird

We have been watching this nest of Killdeer eggs in an outer area of our yard. It's a challenge to see them without getting stuck by a few of the surrounding weeds that love to grow in that area. There were three eggs but then one day there was only one. The birds are here all the time but this is the first time we have ever been able to find the eggs so every couple of days we swing by to see what was going on. Well today we found that the only remaining egg had hatched. It's so stinking cute! We captured a couple images of the little darling and thought we would share.

Springtime Images

Today the 3 year old and I went for a drive and walk to see what we could capture with our cameras. I took pictures of Jenna and she took pictures of everything but me. She got a few good pictures that we thought we would share below. It was a lot of fun for us both so we will have to do this again soon. Maybe next time we can find flowers and a few friendly bees.
