Description: A Sprague's Pipit Anthus spragueii nest about 1 day after hatching. There are 2 visible eggs unhatched and four chicks although only three are easily distinguished. Eggs were about 1.5 cm long. The nest structure is only partially visible but includes a canopy over the nest with a single entrance to the nest. The canopy made almost in its entirety from standing dead vegetation and the nest is located directly on the ground. Photo taken on Canadian Forces Base Suffield in the National Wildlife Area.
