Hello. I am new here and work out in rural north dakota on oilwell sites. I recently found a killdeer nest and do not want someone working on the site to accidentally squish or disturb the nest. So i thought of making a little barried around the nest with some larger rocks. However reading about killdeer and nesting habbits is that they build in open areas in order to be as inconspicuous as possible. So i am afraid putting some large rocks around it may just make the nest stand out to predators. Am i better off just leaving it be or would building a little ring of larger rocks around the nest not be a bad idea. Obviously i would give the nest some space and put the rocks a few feet away and leave little gaps between a few of the rocks so the babies could exit the area oce hatched. But i am having second thoughts as i do not want to be the reason a predator was able to find the nest or build a barrier ao the mom or dad didnt see a predator coming close and give it enough time to do its broken wing act in order to lure the predator away from the nest. Am i better off just leaving it be and hoping for the best or would building a small barrier not be a bad idea. Thank you for anyones opinions and knowledge on the matter. Have a great day!
