Nest with eggs.
Observation details
I flushed a male Pauraque, which then engaged in a distraction display. The white wing patches and white tail markings were very conspicuous as the bird appeared to "jump" a short distance off the ground. I quickly found a nest, which was simply a shallow scrape. The 2 eggs were on bare dirt, but the scrape was surrounded by dry leaves which covered the ground elsewhere. The eggs were a very light brown color with darker brown speckling. As we departed the area, we heard a single song from the vicinity of the nest, at ~8:15 am.
