Killdeer - The Ultimate Roadside Nesting Expert!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot from the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge, we witness a true avian marvel - a Killdeer perched on its nest right by the refuge roadside. This charismatic bird, known for its distinctive call and lively personality, has chosen an unconventional nesting spot that perfectly showcases its adaptability. With feathers ruffled in anticipation, our feathery friend seems to be saying, "Who needs a tree when you have prime real estate next to passing cars?". This fearless Killdeer is not afraid to break the mold and challenge traditional nesting norms. Talk about thinking outside the nest! As one of North America's most beloved waders, this single Killdeer stands tall as it guards its precious eggs with unwavering dedication. Its striking plumage blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while providing camouflage against potential threats. The Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment team managed to capture this extraordinary moment without disturbing our feathered protagonist or compromising their natural habitat. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our United States wildlife. So next time you're driving through Colorado's breathtaking wilderness at Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge, keep your eyes peeled for these audacious birds who redefine what it means to build a home sweet home!
