This is a straight forward cache. In the end you will hopefully find a camoed small “Pelican” style water-proof box, with assorted swag, cache is available for TB and coin exchange. Easy for the entire family but children need to be watched or could be easily lost. At times Muggles beware.
Killdeer, Charadius vociferous, is common, widespread, and familiar throughout most of North America. The most commonly seen shorebird inland, has readily taken up residence in suburbia. Many times in the spring pairs can be found tending a nest of usually three eggs in a mulched flowerbed, or along a fence line at a ballpark.
Best known for it’s broken wing act as it cries out a screeching alarm and tries to lure a would be predator away from its nest or young.
The field and adjoining ponds you will be hiking near are a favorite of the local resident and migrating Killdeer. During wet weather 50 or more birds can be seen spread out over the field in search of easy meals brought out by recent rains.
At times the approach(s) can be dry, wet, or very wet depending on recent weather. Snakes don’t bother me but be aware during the “season”. Rat Snakes, Black Racers, Yellow-bellied Water Snakes, Copperheads and Water Moccason’s(Cottonmouth) all inhabit and have been readily seen/photographed in these bottoms. Don’t bother them they won’t bother you. (Just don’t step on one).
This, like five other caches contains one of six required clues that you will need to find
GC209W3 “ Jaybirder’s Roost” Cache.
Good Luck.
