redkneck Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I like playing with the killdeers. Nesting on the ground, you can walk up close to them and mama will fake a broken wing and try to get you to follow her away from the nest. Pretty cool.

Tominator Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've seen and heard a few killdeer so far. No residents yet, just migrants. We got the barn swallows back a couple weeks ago. I love watching them fly in front of the mower picking off bugs as the tractor scares them out of the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I like having the barn swallows around. They keep the mosquito population in check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I will happily send up all of the killdeer and barn swallows you want! We have those things EVERYWHERE around here. The stinking barn swallows setup shop in our new addition because we didnt have the soffit ready before they "moved in." I like killdeer until something spooks them at night and they start screaming (I live in the middle of a field so they are all around us). Send me an address, ill box as many as you would like and send them your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I haven't seen any swallows yet but its been chilly lately. Like Chris I enjoy watching them grab mosquitoes while mowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
