Killdeer in the Driveway

Killdeer decided to build a nest in our driveway this spring. Isaac and Isabella named them Chirp and Chirp Up. Each time we left to go somewhere they needed to roll the windows down and make sure they didn't get ran over by the car. Isaac also put orange cones out when they were riding their bikes to insure that the eggs didn't get smashed. On Father's Day all four eggs finally hatches. By the next day the parents had move the chicks to another location. I think they moved them over to the tall grass across the road.

Get away!
