We have a 4 acre field that we work up every year and EVERY YEAR a killdeer circles it with the same 'come away from my babies' behaviour. When it comes time to till I get so upset watching her, knowing how unlikely it is that I will find her nest. This year I did! We have a lovely little 'goatee' of long grass in the middle of our clay field where the tomatoes are planted this year. A happy mama sat on her nest despite the disturbances. Delightful how we get to participate in these special moments.
