Those Pesky Neighbors get all the good stuff! Edith (the killdeer — or maybe her offspring — raise a family in their driveway every year) is back. I started posting about her in 2012 and she’s not missed a single year. For once, she didn’t decide to make her nest right in the middle of the driveway so I’m pretty sure barricades aren’t needed this time around.
And they had a visit from the Easter Bunny. For real!
At first, we wondered if maybe a neighbor’s chicken got free and scratched a nice spot in the shade to deposit an egg. But after much discussion, we’re sure it really was the Easter Bunny!
Happy Easter! 🐣
Now you know: Between 2001 and 2021, a stork named Klepetan would fly every year from South Africa to Croatia to mate with another stork, Malena. Malena couldn’t fly due to a gunshot injury. Klepetan would hunt, build her nests, and feed her chicks. Malena died in 2021 of old age.
