No idea. Searched the net a little bit for bird eggs- couldn't find a match. Can we get any hints?

On the ground, in the open? With those spots, I'd have to go with some sort of shorebird. Where is Gilbert Water Ranch?

I think we need to pressure Bigfoot to put in a Bird Nest Forum.

This one might be the start of proven Eggs/Nests thread.
