[AT] Combine Attack

[Gene Dotson]

    I worked ground to seed a lawn for a friend. When He came home from 
work, he asked me why I had left a spot un worked. Explained there was a 
killdeer nest there. We finished when the birds hatched and left the nest.

I have had killdeer (https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/killdeer) fake 
broken wings in front of the lawn tractor while mowing before.  They nest 
right on the ground.
