pretty bird

This spring this Killdeer bird laid her eggs on the ground in the middle of some ashes. It is right next to our house and the girls have been waiting for them to hatch for the last month! Two of the eggs hatched as you can see in the picture above and then one day later the third egg hatched and as soon as it did the birds all left the nest.
We couldn't figure out why in the world this bird would lay her eggs on the ground and so close to people. Anytime we went outside the mom would go crazy and pretend like it had a broken wing to keep you away from her eggs. (Very Strange)
