Notes
Found digging/laying nest along edge of trail through a floodplain area. Quick zoom-in voucher shot and left female undisturbed. Area had recieved some rain an hour earlier and sun had just started to break through overcast. On return trip back on trail nest was found destroyed by some type of predator, crows were seen and heard nearby.
Another unearthed nest with broken eggs littered about was found a few minutes later further down the trail.
