Nests So Shallow

~Nests So Shallow~

 

The killdeer eggs were crushed, today.
Tractor tires ran them over.

Mom frets and peeps
then moves on.

There is no need for her wounded wing act.
The deed is done.

Dad comes home and finds the mess.
Checks out his tail feathers with his beak.
There's rain in the air.
