Comentarios
The killdeer is at a farm market, she decided to build her nest right where they normally put out potted plants, so they left space for her in the row of plants, and added a sign to alert people to pay attention to the eggs and not get too close.
Interesting, @erininmd! You should add that comment to the description of the observation too :-)
