Blues-loving bird: Killdeer nests right where Bluesfest main stage is to be erected

A killdeer has already staked out its seats for the RBC Ottawa Bluesfest, but the bird is proving a headache for festival organizers.
The killdeer’s chosen nest site is right where the main stage is to be erected later this week on the site at LeBreton Flats near the Canadian War Museum. Yellow caution tape surrounds the nest and Bluesfest organizers were to update the media Monday morning on how they plan to deal with the bird.
Bluesfest opens July 5.
