JAileen, photo below taken by DH. (Forester and Wildlife Biologist - did his BA paper and MA work on birds and is always on the lookout). Female hunkered down over eggs on a tiny meridian in the parking lot of a massive Sail store (like a MEC) surrounded by big box stores, roads, and highways. The male was about 30 feet away sitting in the middle of the parking lot and if anyone approached the female, he stood up and started to move forward!
DH said she was definitely on eggs. She had pulled out the feathers of her brood patch and was sitting on a mound of her own down.
