When the guy pulled a huge piece of cement out of our old well, he put it on the garden. (Luckily, we hadn't planted anything yet!) We weren't really happy, but I don't think his little backhoe could have moved it much farther - it's a honkin' piece of cement.
Jeff hooked a chain around it to get it stood up. It worked! Yay!

Then, he unhooked the chain, and put it around the other side. He drove the tractor over, without crushing the nest. He hooked it up again,

And, there it stays. At least for now. But, it's not in the garden anymore! :D
And the eggs are fine.

Aww, a Kildeer! I love those birds. Their call is so distinctive, you can hear them from miles away!
ReplyDeleteI remember finding a kildeer nest when I was little. And actually holding a kildeer baby. They are so fuzzy and cute!
(I wouldn't go pick one up now, though, now that I know better... but I don't regret the memory of fuzzy cuteness.)
