Observation details
Flushed pipit out of grass at close range and then found nest. Cup nest under icha grass on ground, inside cup diameter measured 6.5 cm, outside diameter 11cm, 5.5 cm depth; two eggs, gray with dark spots - see photos for color as well as scale against half cm grid for egg size/measurements. Handbook of Birds of the World (around that time/before it went online) stated "probably breeds in late Mar in N of range; eggs in Dec and young birds reported in May and Sept in Peru. In nuptial flight male rises to moderate height and makes slow gliding descent. No further data." Therefore this breeding observation (and almost any additional data) seems significant.
