The books give 24 to 28 days as the incub= ation time for Killdeer eggs, so I calculated the earliest possible hatching= date as June 23rd. We were very sad to find the nest abandoned on June 20t= h, and assumed that a predator had found it. Much to our delight, yesterday= there were an adult Killdeer and 4 well-grown downy juveniles out on the mu= dflats at the cove. The temperature was only 14 degrees, with a brisk wind,= so when we first saw them the adult was brooding the young. Well, brooding= 3 of them while the 4th tried unsuccessfully to push its way in to join the= m. We've missed the endearing stage of very young Killdeer chicks, but thes= e juveniles are still very attractive young birds, already almost half the s= ize of the adult. >>>> =20 >>>> It's great to see some breeding success, since we've seen no juvenile W= illets so far.
