Andrew:
It's also exciting that they are still finding a place to nest even in the human-altered habitat, and even though they are not always successful. Here's a very brief audio clip of the Kildeer (it takes a minute to load) - but not the distinctive kilDEER call which gives it its name.

Actually around here it is a better place than the wild. Fire ants are killing so many ground nesting birds. We are very aggressive fighting them because we deal with food products. Fire ants are incredibly aggressive and build HUGE mounds. They kill things as big as calves and foals. There have been cases of mounds riddling pastures so badly that tractors have been swallowed. There have also been cases of fire ants killing people in nursing homes.
You don't have fire ants do you? (Not yet I mean)

ok apparently we have turned into the butterfly graveyard....this is one I have never seen before. It has pink and purplelines! and if you look you will see small round dots on the wings? those are clear! You can see thru them...It is not as showy as the first one but it is bigger and I think I like it better
