Eggs... Can you see them???

We have these two birds that hang out on the grass at our house. I have no idea what kind of bird they are but they crawl around on the ground with their wings spread open half the time and make the most incredible noises. Well, we spotted their stash... not really a nest, just four eggs sitting no more than 2 ft (60 cm) from our chair. It's a miracle we haven't stepped on them. Not the most exciting shot but I took it today!!

Here's the bird... http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2013-06-13. Does anyone what kind it is?

[Simply Amanda]

Cool, I do...they look like granite!

[Brenda T. Schwartz]

Cool eggs...Take a pic of the Birds!

[Nicole Campbell]

That is amazing that they have placed them so close to you. Such interesting patters on the eggs.

[KWind]

@btorrey I'll do my best. I took this with my iphone but the fast walking birds wouldn't have been pretty with it!!

[Kate Goring]

Mother Nature sure makes amazing camouflage. Great spotting and shot.

[Melody Tanner]

Those eggs are very cool! I can't believe they put them so close to you! It'll be fun to watch them as they hatch.

[Inge]

Yes, I can! There are four! :D
They look like quail eggs (if they were smaller than chicken eggs).

[Leslie]

What amazing eggs. Can't wait just hope you are the only one that finds them. They do kind of blend in.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Sue]

Beautiful eggs!

[Barbara Havrot]

Beautiful eggs! Are they sandpipers? Long legs?? Fast runners? (or maybe it's a Road runner from the Bugs Bunny show!?)

[Gena Pegg]

Amazing! Very pretty eggs....hope to see the babies soon! Nice catch!

[Maggiemae]

You can't have any predators around here to steal those eggs! Amazing!

[👑 AnaZad]

Wow! Nice find. I wonder what type of birds they are.

[☠northy]

what interesting looking eggs! you'll have to give us an update every now and then as to how they are doing!

[Lisa Stein]

What pretty eggs. It will be fun to observe them. It's odd that the birds aren't sitting on them? Hopefully they will be OK.

[Paul King]

Four beautifully speckled eggs extremely well hidden and wonderfully captured in what appears to be an uncared for area of land : we'll spotted great image !

[Ellen Young]

they are the most amazing egg's and story i have herd today!! I am so glad they are safe and able to hatch!! Oh I just love watching the Birds protect their eggs...when i came back from Steve's i checked on my babies and they were gone!! I think the MaMa was afraid i was going to adopt them! :)
