Wordless Wednesday…Eggs Abound and a Mystery!

 

When last we met, our blue bird box at home had 7 eggs…we think. There are 7 we can see but we think there is one buried in the pine needles. We’ve never had a blue bird lay 7 eggs, much less have mama bluebird skip more than one day when she is laying them. 

As of now there are still 7 eggs. 



But wait…

We now have 6 beautiful eggs in one of our boxes at Kickerillo Mischer Preserve. 



But wait…we have another mystery…

At our 3rd bluebird box at Kickerillo, we thought mama had laid 5 eggs. 
However..take a closer look!

 

What do you think?

Hello Kathy - supply, demand and anticipation of many kinds are filling the basket case that is my mind for a number of reasons.  In the meantime, I count my blessings. . .

Hi Kathy,
If there is a hidden egg, I it doesn't have trouble hatching. It must be so fun for you and Larry to watch your bluebird boxes. Thanks for sharing.

Lots of eggs!  Is this more than usual or less?  Or, is it about the same amount of eggs?

Kathy Streib - I see six in the bluebird box at Kickerillo. 

Seven in your nest is amazing. You must be so excited! If you get seven or more, will you contact your local newspaper? I can only imagine the day the eggs hatch. I sure hope they all survive and sing for you.

Hi Kathy,

The mama bird, perched proudly over her five eggs, realized her counting skills were a bit... scrambled. She could only tally up to two! Flustered, she shot a chirp to her neighbor, the other mama bird with seven eggs. "Listen," she chirped with a feathery wink, "six is the luckiest number. Mind sparing one of your eggs for the greater good of symmetry?"

And just like that, with a peck of agreement, both nests were harmoniously stocked with six eggs each—a perfectly eggcellent solution!

Kathy I think you and Larry and the best little bird lovers in the world!  I'll go with whatever you two think as for another egg as you're the experts.  Not me by a long shot - or is that egg!

Kathy, interesting, and of course, you shouldn't touch them, right, to move them?

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

Your birdwatching adventures are such a delight, Kathy Streib! It's like nature's little reality show, full of surprises and mysteries. Thanks for sharing the joy of these little moments—can’t wait to see how this egg saga unfolds! And is that a hidden 6th egg? No, it looks more like glare from the sun or a light shining through a window.

Hi Kathy:

Nature is such fun to watch - thank you for all the photos. Looks like a bunch of baby blue birds before too long. I'm looking forward to seeing the progression.
