If you’re visiting Lippold Family Golf Center or the parking lot areas near Lippold Park, please use extra caution—killdeer are nesting on the ground in these areas.
These birds may not look like it, but their eggs are often right underfoot. Killdeer lay their eggs directly on gravel or pavement, where their speckled shells blend in almost perfectly.

Are killdeer endangered?
Killdeer are not endangered in Illinois—they are a common, native species . However, they are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which means it is illegal to harm them, disturb active nests, or move their eggs .

What makes killdeer special in Illinois:
• Famous for their “broken wing” act to distract predators (and people!)
• Nest in open, unexpected places like parking lots and paths
• Their eggs are incredibly camouflaged—easy to miss if you’re not looking

How you can help:
• Watch your step and drive slowly in parking areas
• Give birds plenty of space if they seem distressed
• Respect any marked or coned-off/roped off nesting areas

With a little awareness, we can help kildeer safely raise their young!
