nice pics , love the kildeer. Fun birds to watch.Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2026 9:15 pm Great hummingbird pictures! How you get them to share a feeder is a mystery to me. We have two different varieties (and three feeders). They’re territorial and fight all the time. At least one bird sits in a nearby tree and chases away any other hummingbird that approaches the nearest feeder.But it’s fun to watch their acrobatic aerial antics.
While I was out today I spotted a killdeer and its offspring at their nest just a few feet from a busy road. I was able to snap a couple of pictures and wanted to stop to investigate but there were too many cars going by.![]()
I think the nest is in the mulch under a tree.

I think the nest is in the mulch under a tree. Killdeer chicks are mobile and start following mom around immediately after they hatch.
