I came into contact with a Kill Deer while I was picking strawberries at Hallock's Farm in New Jersey. Something was making an awful noise really close to me and I thought some animal may have gotten into my box of berries. Another picker noticed my strange look and told me to turn around and there was this bird puffing itself up with outstretched wings just yammering at me and that is when I noticed the eggs on the ground on the straw ridden path between the strawberry rows. I will always remember this brave mother bird protecting her babies.
