Observation details
Nest found 7/3 while filming the male calling - female flushed from the nest located along the edge of a small depression in the ground. Three eggs yesterday and today so it seems likely that laying is over - did not check for pipping. Blind set up today to the west of the nest. Observed from 800 to 845 during which time the female never left the nest and the male could be heard calling occasionally but never close (50-100 yards away). One intentional flush as I left to check the number of eggs; female didn't flush until I was within 5 feet and took a weak running-flight; presumably a distraction display
