We were meeting friends at the Sequoyah Bay State Park and we sat like 12 inches from the nest of these birds. There was a mom and dad going ballistic because we were almost on top of their nest. Once we realized what was happening we all got up and moved, which made them much more at ease. But, they did keep watching us. They had four eggs, which were gray with black markings. Awesome bird and we were so sorry that we disturbed its nest.
