Birds of Kentucky: Killdeer 2019-08-15 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen. All About Birds has this to say about the Killdeer: "Killdeer inhabit open areas such as sandbars, mudflats, and grazed fields. They are probably most familiar around towns, where they live on lawns, driveways, athletic fields, parking lots, airports, and golf courses. Generally the vegetation in fields inhabited by Killdeer is no taller than one inch. You can find Killdeer near water, but unlike many other shorebirds, they are also common in dry areas."

For months and months her life hung in the balance and her prayer network grew from family to friends to a whole community of strangers, all bonded in calling for her healing. Prayers were answered.
