-->Birds have the right of way-->

Ok so, today my father and brother and I were arriving at church and the parking guy directed us into the gravel part of the parking lot. We ended up parking beside this squared off area in the middle of the gravel field. There were these four pylons and caution tap all squared off with this one little bird sitting in the middle. The bird was peeping constantly, but staying in that one spot. At first I thought that the bird must have a Broken wing or something, but I thought, why whould they go thru all of the hooplaw with the pylons and everything, they could just move him off to the side. But as I looked closer I saw that this bird was protecting three little eggs!! It was so amazing and sweet. She was peeping her little heart out at us telling us to stay away from her babies! She had layed them right there in the middle of the parking lot. Then I noticed another of the same kind of bird on the other side of my car. I thought maybe it was another one nesting too, but it was shaking its feathers up in the air wildly... when I walked closer it ran a little farther away and did it again. I followed it a little farther then someone said that this bird was the father bird trying to keep our attention off of the mother and their lil' chicks. That was the sweetest thing ever, although it didn't really keep peoples attention off of the mother, she might as well have been in a zoo the way people were walking by her little boxed off area and stopping to look. The little cuties! That made my day!!
