Surprised they do not need some type of Nesting Box and/or similar device !!!.

I have two shelters in there one you can see in the pic.they dig down and make little nests sometimes they lay in them sometimes they don't I have left eggs in there to see if they will set and they never do.Last year I put 50 eggs in the incubator and left the rest in the nest .I checked them week and a half later and there was 27 eggs in the nest!

The males do get real vocal.my neighbors think they are cardinals.the keep telling me they hear all these cardinals whistling but they can't see them.I just keep telling them ,yeah I see a lot of cardinals around.
