Sorry for the potato quality photo. I would guess northern bobwhite quail, but they look darker than quail egg photos I’m seeing online.

I would second Killdeer eggs. This is the exact medium they like to lay their eggs on
Killdeer, maybe?
Yeah, I think you’re right 👍 Thanks!
They’re such neat birds. I see them and their nests on my job site and I love watching them skitter around and yell at anything that moves.
That seems so… open and obvious. Is that normal placement?
It did seem odd, we nearly stepped on them. But after looking into it more, it’s apparently pretty common: https://old.reddit.com/r/Ornithology/comments/npzykp/killdeer_eggs_i_was_walking_along_a_gravel_path/h09ps9t/
