nest discovery

these little eggs were recently found by za husband, in a nest on the ground in the corner of our yard.  i thought it was quite the magical discovery.  i think it is a nest made by quail, and if the eggs weren't hollow and abandoned we'd have new baby quail hatching in our yard any day now.  it was really amazing to see how the bird that constructed the nest dug a spot out in the ground then used all the weeds to make a safe spot for its babies.  too bad we won't be seeing babies hatch from those pretty little eggs.
