Mayhew 1950 Killdeer 3. May 7 Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. 3 The bird with the nest near the pipeline road stayed on the nest when the wheels of the car passed 3 feet from the nest. I was driving very slowly at the time, trying to see the nest as I drove by. 2 The nest between the car tracks was decent before any eggs were laid. The rocks had been thrown around by cars passing so much, I was unable to find the exact spot of the nest, even though I had a marker at the edge of the road. 1 The nest at the edge of the north levee road had lost all four eggs. The shell fragments were so small, I couldn't tell whether incubation had been completed, or if some predator had found the nest. 4 Another nest was found in the gravel at the edge of the road on the west bank of the drainage ditch about 1/2 way along the southern arm of the ditch. This nest contained 4 eggs, all of them with the small ends pointing toward the middle of the nest. May 13 5 a nest with 1 egg in it was found beside the road on the west side of the main drainage ditch. It is about 200 yards north of where the drainage ditch turns to the east again. The nest is in gravel about 3 feet from the nearest tire track. 4 The nest about 300 yards north of this
