I used to have a Killdeer bird nesting on my acre in my back yard ever spring several years ago. But I have not seen any killdeers on my fenced in property for many years. Perhaps it is the presence of stray cats coming into my yard, which seem to have increased in numbers over the last few years. There is a lot of new home construction going on around me, on land that was just fields for hay. Loss of habitat maybe. That seems to be our future for rural areas, at least in Texas.
