Frogs were lazily croaking, and the killdeer's shrill cry came plaintively to the ear. A number of cows stood knee-deep in mud and water, round as barrels, and breathing hard, with tails unceasingly switching away the flies. Dorian was in the field turning the water on his lucerne patch when he saw Mildred coming as usual down the path.
A very large number of species, however, lay their eggs on the ground with little or no attempt to gather around or beneath them any special nesting material. The Killdeer's eggs are simply deposited in a slight hole scratched in the earth, usually in an open field or on a rocky hillside. The only lining is a few grass blades or smooth pebbles.
"Ten great blue herons," I say to myself. All this has detained me, and meantime the kingfisher has taken wing and gone noisily up the creek. The marsh hawk appears once more. A killdeer's sharp, rasping note a familiar sound in St. Augustine comes from I know not where. A procession of more than twenty black vultures passes over my head. I can see their feet drawn up under them.
His voice was clear enough, and it never failed in a speech; but it seemed to reside in his little thirsty throat, and it piped like a killdeer's in its proudest swell. Lawyer Faddle excited some mirth for his originalities, and more contempt for his vices among the farmers of Summerfield.
