Killdeer nest, Site 4, Freeman Community Club RV Park, Freeman MO, May 11, 2010
What's a poor mother to do?
You find a good mate, carefully pick a site, sculpt a nice nest amongst those hard old crushed rocks, lay 4 eggs coordinated to match the rocks, array the eggs just so with the pointy ends down and in, keep them nice and warm day and night rain or shine.
Then some jerk nearly steps in the nest.
And has the gall to come back later with a camera 'cause he thinks the whole thing is a work of art.
Sheesh man - it's a freakin' NEST! What's a poor mother to do? Freak OUT!

Mix With the World
I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. . . . I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it led to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.
John Adams
