Florida Gardening: Who laid these eggs, 1 by flyboyFL

We live right on the water.

I walked by an Ixora hedge and, noisily, flushed some large bird. It was gone so fast that I couldn't see what it was. As regards large birds, we are populated with Blue Heron, Egrets, Sea gulls and a myriad of ducks.

I parted the shrubs and, lo and behold, seven large white eggs. (Chicken sized.)

Who did it?

Someone please help while I wait to see the parent return.

Be well
