Killdeer eggs are vulnerable to a variety of predators, including raccoons, snakes, crows, and various Birds of Prey. Ground-nesting birds like American crows and larger mammals such as foxes and skunks are particularly adept at locating and consuming these eggs. Additionally, some species of rodents may also pose a threat to killdeer nests. Their camouflage helps protect the eggs, but they are still at risk from these opportunistic feeders.
