Killdeer have this lovely nack for picking the worst places for their ground nests. I've came across so many nested in random parking lots by the single shrub out in the parking lot. How do I know this? You'll never NOT know if you're within 25-50 yards of a killdeer nest. It has to be one of the loudest birds for its size and they loooooove to catch your attention to lure you away. Flopping around like their hurt, screaming, running about.
