Nature Done Wright

On Monday:

A friend in Allendale asks: "Could you help me identify the bird eggs in this nest on my front-door wreath?"

I tried to photograph the bird as it flew away but it was blur….

I have a hunch or two. How about you?

Answer: Here's what I think. A cowbird laid that speckled egg in a house sparrow nest or a house finch nest. Congrats to Ali Fragale, who agreed with me.

I wrote a column about this situation several years ago:

What would you do?
