Is she paying $50 a night?

Our RV Park is having a huge rally this week.  There are close to 50 beautiful Prevost motor coaches all lined up by the lake, except for one site, that appears empty. 

But at closer inspection there is a resident, there in the small gravel rocks, almost slap bang in the middle of the parking spot, sits a brooding female Killdeer.

Miguel, the grounds keeper, discovered the nest while preparing the sites with new gravel.  Two orange cones were carefully placed on either side of the bird and gravel and patrons deferred until further notice.

My hat off to the Park owners, Lydia and Ken, for protecting this tiny bird amongst these monstrous motor homes.  Yes, we can co-exist.  Yes, we can do business and protect our small neighbors. 

So as a bird lover the La Hacienda RV Resort is definitely bird friendly and the place to spend a few days, weeks or months.  Or even a year... we're coming up on our anniversary quite soon.

Here the Killdeer is at the edge of the lake with the motor homes she shares a nest with reflected behind her.

See the gap after the second motor home from the left?  That space is reserved for the Killdeer family.
