They hatched!!

Yippee! They did hatch and Jon says they look like camouflaged peeps! Personally, I agree! Now if we can only keep the peeps away from the cats! They have left the nest area now and are running free in the weeds. Killdeer are one of the few birds that can run soon after hatching. But, the parents still keep a pretty good eye on them, as you can tell!!! We thought it was interesting that the babies looked a lot like the shells of the eggs they were hatched from. Many birds are hatched from eggs that are blue or pale white and spotted and they look awful after hatching! These are more like chickens and barnyard fowl.

They hatched on Saturday, June 6.
