Question of the Week – Killdeer
15.05.2024 - 15:01 / hgic.clemson.edu
Which common bird made its nest underneath this cucumber plant?
These eggs were laid by a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), who gets its name from their characteristic “kill-dee kill-dee” call heard as they fly over grassy fields. They should be a welcomed guest on farms since they eat mostly insects, including beetles, caterpillars, and grasshoppers. Since their eggs are laid on the ground in open areas, Killdeer protect their nests by feigning injury and running with a bent wing to lure predators away from their young. When we took this photo, the Killdeer were noticeably loud, trying to get our attention away from their eggs. Learn more about Killdeer here.

Your gardening questions answered: Are there any slug-proof plants?
Q: We have a small back garden that includes an old wall covered in ivy. I love the ivy, but it has become home to an army of slugs that have eaten many of my plants over the years. I have tried many different things to combat the slugs (ground eggshells, coffee grinds, various different pellets), none of which have really made that much difference. I am also concerned about using products that may harm the birds that visit the garden and our dog. At this stage, I think I have to accept that the slugs are part of the garden and learn to live with them. So, I would like to look at planting some small shrubs and flowers that are not appealing to slugs. I would be grateful for some suggestions. JM
