Nature Done Wright

On Monday, Stiles Thomas challenged readers to tell him what that thing on the left is.

Stiles says that it is an unviable — and unenviable — Wild Turkey egg.

He found it in his backyard this weekend after a hen turkey fiddled in the Thomas birdbath in obvious discomfort for quite a while.

"This, too, shall pass," he told her softly, and it did.

Congrats to all who took a stab at this mystery, and a special tip of the Hatlo Hat to Janet T., who came closest to the correct answer.
