The Killdeer is another of the birds that habitates in the Legacy Nature Preserve.
The species is common year-round in Utah, where it is most often seen in fields, pastures, and riparian areas.
Nests are built on the ground in open areas. The female lays a clutch of three to five eggs that is then incubated by both parents for 24 to 30 days. The young, which are tended by both parents, fledge at about 25 days of age. A second brood is sometimes produced after the first brood leaves the nest. When approached by humans or other perceived threats, the killdeer will attempt to lure the threat away from its nest by pretending to be wounded and running away from the nest site.
You can access this cache by bicycle, on foot or by car. From 500 South and Legacy Highway you can bike or hike to the cache. From Center Street in North Salt Lake you can access it by car.
I'm replacing the container and location for both waterproofing and environmental reasons. The new cache is quart sized and in a 4" pipe with a cedar lid. There is room for small TB's and some trading items. Enjoy.
CONGRATULATIONS to peakbagginggeo for FTF.
