for you birdbrains....
We have a killdeer nest that I almost stepped on in our driveway. Fortunately, it's off to the side. Currently there are 4 eggs. When I walk by to the mailbox, mom not only does her broken-wing-follow-me-away routine, she actually lays on her back and flops like she has a gaping chest wound! Then she summons dad and other relatives to assist.
We also have a sparrow's nest (4 eggs - so tiny!) in one of the hanging ferns on our front porch.
I guess we have birds that like Extreme Nesting!
