I haven't been back to the eggs, but if I do, maybe I will take my wildlife camera and see what shows up!

Looks like swallow tailed kite eggs to me.
Although they haven't been seen in Wisconsin since the 1800's

Thanks again,

Do you have Kildear (spelling?) in your area. They lay eggs on the ground...but the size might be small for a kildear

Thank you for your comment. I have seen killdeer eggs at home in Wisconsin and they are much smaller than the eggs I have here.

You are about 100 miles south of me. If you get up this way in December through March give me a hollar, I have 12 miles of woods to detect on Gated Private Property.

Yes the coloration does look like duck eggs, but usually with a duck aren't a lot more eggs? Not sure.
