1979 Ronald L. Mumme Charadrius vociferus San Antonio River, Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, Monterey County, California 31 March On the Hunter-Liggett Wickerbill excursion with Frank, Walt & John, we found a killdeer nest on an isolated rock-gravel bed in the middle of a shallow portion of the San Antonio River. We were alerted to the nest while eating lunch on a beautiful spring day, when we saw a killdeer land on the gravel bed. It began moving very slowly and steadily (very un-killdeer- like) over the whitish rocks before settling on what turned out to be a nest. Walt & I waded out, finding 4 eggs in a shallow depression. A few tiny bits of stick were present in the bottom of the nest. When we flushed the adult bird, it first ran to another spot & sat down (nest decoy?), when we approached more closely, it started to "broken wing" display.
