Wren's Egg





Mom has shared how a pair of wrens has moved into a crazy birdhouse visible from the deck (I'll try to get a picture of that some time when the light is on it). While doing a little yardwork in the vicinity, I noticed what I first took to be a berry but later verified was a wren's egg. The parents are still tending the nest and we can't figure any way an egg could have fallen out, so we speculate this one's fall is the result of some maternal miscalculation when out for a spritz in the nearby birdbath. Hard to believe an actual bird can hatch out of something this tiny!
