to be honest, in my case i'd have to say "no"... there was nothing of the
distractions we might know by watching other such species like red-wings
(who will dive-bomb anything nearby) or a killdeer (which will feign
lameness), etc... a few days ago, it really did look like it was nesting...
today, it was feeding... both days, seemingly unconcerned by the
attention...
