Another issue
What DuckButter said is true. However, another issue was that ants would eat the eggs. That same problem is now occurring with bobwhite quail. Many years ago the ants were controlled by certain, and very effective chemical applications. The government, in its majestic wisdom, banned that chemical, so the ant population exploded. Now, after an act my Congress, that same chemical can now be placed at nesting sites ONLY for whooping cranes, and ONLY by trained government officials.
