Since we have had some nice weather here in Chicago for the last
couple of days (finally!), I have been able to open some windows!
Last night I was treated to the cries of a pair of Killdeers that have
taken up residence in the horse pasture behind my house.

Has anyone else seen any Killdeers?  I think they are beautiful birds;
with sandy brown bodies, and brown and white striped heads.  I love
to watch them run, but they are really fun to watch fly.  These two
chase each other aroud the pasture all evening, finally quitting
about an hour after sundown.  I think that they will build their nest
in the field, but I am not sure.  Can anyone confirm this?
