The latter ones were a bit obscure to my eyes, so I have to go back and study them. Rich and I visited Rushmore at night. From the parking deck we discovered that it was a perfect sleeping giant. We were more fascinated by that than the actual monument!<br /><br />The blue bird looks like the blue birds we have here. About 20 years ago a mystery person built and placed blue bird houses on street signs throughout our town. I think there are 4 or 5 in my neighborhood alone, and I imagine hundreds if not thousands throughout the town. The county threatened to remove them because they were on government property. There was an uprising of people fighting their removal and the people won. As a result, these beautiful birds are all around us. I save lint from my clothes dryer all year until early spring when I put it out for the birds as nesting material. There was a nest in the turn of my downspot. I watched it being built. Little brown birds coming and going all the time, just as busy as they could b. Then, a few weeks ago I saw big black wings right by my window and a lot of noise. The big birds got the nest and the eggs or chicks that were in it. :( So goes life, I guess. Made me sad, though.<br /><br />Glad you are enjoying your trip. You are not far from me. If you're not in a rush there are some nice COE campgrounds north of Atlanta on 75, and also on 85 up near Hartwell. I sure wish I could have run down to Lagrange to see you, but there's been a lot happening around here. Susan was off and tomorrow I go to Peachtree City to watch my granddaughters and Bogey until the 2nd, they I hope to be off to NY by the 3rd or 4th to see my sister, and of course Jenny, John, Mary, and Ally. I haven't told her. I'm going to surprise her. Well, I did it, again, wrote a blog instead of a comment.

During this ritual, the male of the species touches his breast to the ground and then scrapes out a location on the ground underneath him with his feet. The female then replaces the male, and the mating and laying of eggs are likely to follow. Killdeer lay their eggs on the ground, often in parking lots, and scavenge to find pebbles and other materials for nest cover."<br /><br />Perhaps it is looking for a mate;o))Bill and Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623061930930874565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-66645028909516456982013-05-28T19:14:01.779-04:002013-05-28T19:14:01.779-04:00I saw the first face easily as it really stands ou...I saw the first face easily as it really stands out so plainly.
