end of bird cam

I was all excited about that bird nest next to our back door. Unfortunately, the bird decided to abandon the nest instead of dealing with the fact that we go in and out.

After a few weeks, we decided maybe we were also done with the nest, and we should remove it from the light and clean up. So, that left the eggs...

We cracked them outdoors, just in case they were full of sulfurous horribleness, and we were interested to learn that they was no trace of any baby birds, but they looked just like eggs. I broke one of the yolks a little bit when I cracked it so it was not perfect.

First picture is my hand above the small steel bowl (so there is a little inaccuracy in the scale because the eggs are 3 inches below my hand). Second picture is cooked eggs. I found a little dish that I think is for wasabi to use for serving. That one we were clever enough to get a ruler.

The whites were more transparent than chicken egg whites when cooked, and a little yellowed, but that was probably because of the yolk breaking. One yolk was more orange than the other. Guess mama had more green veggies before laying that one.

Tasted like eggs. A little more strongly flavored. (We're still alive.)
