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.
The killdeer is a plover, which are normally shorebirds. The killdeer is found inland away from the sea, unlike other plovers. It lays its eggs in a simple depression on open ground, and the eggs are speckled to blend into the surroundings. Both parents incubate the clutch, and will display to distract predators by feigning injury and screeching.
Usually there are 4, or sometimes 3 or 5 eggs. They look like pebbles, very nice eggs.

If you see a killdeer fake a broken wing and begin moving one direction, it means they have a nest nearby and they're trying to distract a predator--you--away from the nest in order to protect the eggs or chicks.
