I've also been watching this killdeer pair last year and again this
year at E. Hill Office Bldg (I work here). I requested that the
landscaping crew does not mow this parking lot island until the chicks
hatch and all the killdeer leave. For added protection, I also put
little flags around the island (to remind the landscapers) and a cone
to keep the parking space beside the nest empty. I guess the killdeer
liked the special arrangement so much last year that they decided this
was the perfect spot again for this year's nest!
Could anyone tell me if a pair of killdeer mate for life? Or at least
for more than one year? I assume this is the same pair as nested there
last year, because the nest is in the same exact spot.

From Ilene Miller who also reported them last year:
The East Hill Office Building Killdeer is back for another year. She laid
an egg yesterday. She has picked the same parking lot island and tree as
last year. I think she actually waited for them to put fresh mulch around
the tree.
