Killdeer like to start off life dangerously...their eggs are laid in rocky area, usually the gravel driveway of your own home! Kildeer parents try to lure you away with a theatrical act of having a broken wing or horrible limp, and have a piercing cry to get your attention away from their nest. I am off on the color of the eggs a bit. They are more of a warm sienna. I was carried away by the splatter pattern on the egg, and how it was looking more and more like a beaten metal! I also wanted to make the eggs look 3 dimensional and the nest of gravel look flat, so that it might look like the eggs would roll right away...
