Media notes
Eggs in nest almost destroyed by fire before a farmer rescued the nest and put straw around in it. One egg looks a little singed...
Observation details
Nest located incidentally when farmer was burning the area inside a small chain-link enclosure. A wild Turkey flew out and he saw the nest. Afterwards he put hay in that area and she came back. An egg appears to be singed. All that chain link fence might be protecting the nest while the eggs incubate but not sure if the hatchlings will be able to get out of the chain linked fence enclosure when they hatch!
