A killdeer egg rests in a shallow ground nest in a public use area on Pine Creek Lake, April 7, 2025. Killdeer, a type of plover,. often choose a shallow, gravelly area to lay their eggs where they will blend in with their surroundings. The birds are known for their dramatic "broken-wing" displays they used to distract predators away from their nests to protect their eggs and young.
