I was walking on the pond bank yesterday and had take a second look out it the water. This gal is sitting/perching on a branch about 5 feet out into the water. Just sitting there, minding her own business. She wasn't hurt, in distress or stuck out there, she's just relaxing. I have no idea how she got there. I didn't want to leave her there so I stepped out, pulled the end of the branch towards the bank and she hopped off. The water was up to her belly. I guess she just wanted to cool off? Crazy girl!

These are Killdeer eggs that are hatching in our pasture. Killdeer lay eggs on the ground, in gravel.
