So you've really only lightly touched on the southern most range of the westerns habitat?

You do realize that their natural habitat goes from Texas all the way up to Albert, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and every state in between there and Texas? And that the habitats change drastically as you get out of the desert states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona?

That would explain why you keep pushing sand as a substrate because that's all you see down there.

So knowing these facts, do you think that they might use something other than sand to nest in once they don't have access to it in the central and northern states where sand is not as abundant or even nonexistent?

Isn't it just as likely that they are only using sand down there because that's all that is available and by nature they could really prefer a more northern style of soil?
