Great shot Steve.

I had a pair nest behind my house last year......it was interesting to see how she placed the eggs so the narrow ends pointed toward the center.

Really tough to find......even though I watched where she went from a distance.....it's well camouflaged and hard to spot.

Thanks guys, did the young ones after hatching, they are cute little things and can run around pretty much right after hatching.
