How far can you move a killdeer nest?
You're not supposed to move it at all and there are laws against disturbing a nest. If you move it even a little, you risk the bird abandoning the nest. It's usually best to "work around" the situation by placing cones or barriers around the nest until it hatches and the family leaves. However, there have been cases where the nest had to be moved or it would be definitely destroyed. In these cases, the nest was moved, very carefully and gradually only as far as it was necessary to keep it out of danger. All nesting rocks and other material were also moved and placed exactly as the parent had set them up. Also, lighting conditions were similar. If there are chicks in or near the nest, you can't move it no matter what the circumstance is.
