Birds with their nest. Birds that build scrape nests. Some waterbirds including many ducks nest in upland grasslands far from water. Eggs will sink so the birds build floating platform nests out of cattails reeds other aquatic vegetation or mud. Birds build different nest shapes from simple shallow scrapes to cups to elaborate hanging pouches or cave like structures.
Scrapes are popular nest types for terrestrial birds or birds that prefer open habitats that lack abundant trees such as shorebirds or tundra species. Cavity nesters often line their nests with leaves dried grasses feathers moss or fur. A predator may have snatched the egg and dropped it.
