Emu nest found

E.S.,

I only ask 'cause Book-Learnin' Guy him say lay egg at dusk, and I am still puzzling over Whether Emus Do Stuff At Night. Patience will tell us.

I'm pretty sure that she lays sometime after dusk. From my observations, on the evenings that the female lays an egg, she begins to walk the fenceline alone, away from the other birds and acts very standoffish. She begins doing this very late in the afternoon and is still doing it at dusk. I don't notice this behavior any other times from her. I don't observe her after dusk as I don't want to interrupt her laying process. I can tell you that the egg that I picked up yesterday morning was very,very cold and this was before sunrise, so it had to be laid some time earlier.
