Running near a playground yesterday out in Danby, we accidentally came too close to an invisible killdeer nest and the parent flushed giving us a momentary glimpse into a small pile of woodchips with a single green-ish colored egg with brown spots. The relatively large size of the egg surprised me compared to the size of the bird. We quickly left the area of course.
