A SWEET SURPRISE IN THE GRASS . . .

We discovered this tiny little nest partially hidden in the grass about 2 feet from the parking pad at the front of our house. At first, there was just the nest. A couple of days later there was one egg, about the size of a jelly bean. Then, today a second egg appeared. When the sun is shining directly on the eggs, they seem to be glowing from inside, with a very slight pinkish hue. They really are beautiful. I think it is a sparrow nest and that if she lays a third egg, she will then be sitting on them to begin the incubation period. What fun this is to watch! Postscript: This morning I checked to see if a third egg had been deposited. The nest has been destroyed and the eggs are gone. I understand the cycle of life, but it made me sad.....
