Baby Killdeer I rescued from a storm drain
(sh.itjust.works)
One of the parents was running around the drain making a bunch of noise, went to investigate and found the baby trapped inside. I fished it out with a hair net wrapped around a coat hanger that I taped to a broom handle.
Yeah, they made a nest in the gravel left behind from a torn down building near where I live. I found the nest because as I was walking ~40 feet away one of them started going nuts. I never would've noticed the nest had they not called my attention to it :/
It was fun watching the baby birds emerge though, I thought the rain had drowned them for a while.
