Kildeer Chick Update
I'm reluctant to check too often... although the nest is not far from an oft-used sidewalk! I used my 300mm lens (handheld) and stayed behind a tree, and this is really cropped. Today there are only 2 of the original 5 eggs left in the nest (in the center of the photo) and when I zoomed in on this I noticed the little fur-ball chick on the right. Mom and Dad were close by but I didn't see any other chicks (2 missing maybe) in the few shots I took. I'll keep cautiously checking.
