"Can you see a killdeer's nest in the mulch?"  Killdeer plovers nest in shallow depressions in mulch or gravel. There are four splotchy eggs inside the nest. To my big surprise, we couldn’t spot the nest even when Matt, a naturalist, told us “There is a nest around here.”  Indeed, the nest blends in very well with its surroundings, doesn’t it? Check the nest (Up-Close). The pic was shot near Arboretum, Chaska, MN, 070425.
