[SBB] Killdeer Nest at Palo Alto Baylands

[Ron Wolf <[[email protected]]>]

There's a killdeer nest at the Palo Alto Baylands at the moment 
that's extremely accessible and open to view. In fact, it's too 
accessible and likely to be plundered soon by the ravens or trampled 
by somebody's dog.

The nest is in the gravel on the ground adjacent to the parking area 
by the windsurfing site at the far southeastern end of the road. As 
you approach the parking area by the windsurfing site, there are two 
rows for parking. Turn left into the first row of parking. The nest 
is on your right on the gravel apron of the island in middle of the 
parking area as soon as you make the turn. Someone has put several 
rocks in a ring around the nest in hopes of a keeping the many people 
using that area from stepping on it.

I've found I can get very a good close look out of the car window 
without disturbing the nest, but anyone who tries to approach it on 
foot will trigger all the usual evasive, defensive behavior.
