“It pays to keep an eye peeled while driving as our Johns Island employees found out when a killdeer decided to make its nest right in the middle of our parking lot. Normally a shorebird, the killdeer will scratch out a shallow nest in open ground usually around water. The nest can’t be moved due to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act so our crews made sure it was safe and sound until the eggs hatch in a few weeks. It’s just another way we’re helping to keep the Lowcountry beautiful,” they wrote. Alongside, they also shared two images to show how the nest is protected.
