I found the nest yesterday when traveling a gravel road. Amazing birds with definite optimism! Their nests are on the ground and usually just off the well traveled tire tracks on the sides of the roads. In our part of the world if two vehicles were to meet on the narrow roads at the right moment, poor girl’s nest would be destroyed! However, she doesn’t seem to notice that particular threat, but will in fact put on an Academy award winning performance of having suffered a broken wing if she feels danger from a human or another creature. The show continues if the eggs are successfully hatched and her babies are threatened. These birds hatch ready to run (although a bit wobbly at first) and look exactly like their parents once dry, only in miniature form. A definite treat to find a nest!
