If so it might be a quail nest. Bobwhite quail live in the midwestern United States. They mainly live in Nevada, Colorado, Northern Arizona, California and a little of Wyoming. The bobwhite has dark brown and a little bit of blue feathers. It has a white throat and tan bars in the upper parts of its body.
Bobwhites take dust baths to get rid of parasites.
Then they stroke their feathers to get the dust off their bodies. In spring coveys break up and males find females. Then they decide where their nest is going to be. Then the males draw a circle and they start to build their nest. When the nest is finished the egg laying begins.
