Jump high, little baby! Killdeer chick Legacy Park 8461
As weezerbee parked the car at Legacy Park we could see 2 Killdeer doing the "hurt bird" thing. Then we spotted the babies. One was trying to jump up on the curb from the road to join his family. I made two different ramps to shorten the jump the baby had to make. One was mostly a dirt ramp and the other was a wood chip (mulch) rock ramp. I had to leave them to figure it out. I was close to having chest pain from concern. Later it appeared that all went well because parents and chicks had moved on.
