| Emptied robin's egg. |
The weather today! Golden sunshine and warm air. Oh, and a couple sudden afternoon
downpours, one at 3:00 and another at 4:30. It sounded like a hard rain, but
even two rounds of nature’s free power wash couldn't liberate the car from its gross yellow-green pollen crust.
The morning featured a robin’s egg shell in the driveway, not far
from the nest on the drainpipe. It was cracked and had a hole in it large enough
to see inside where there was not much of anything left.
Later, two small brown
birds were hanging around at the drainpipe nest and the line from the utility pole across the street. And now I
have many questions. Are the brown birds the original occupants, or did they force another bird family out? Or did they just happen along and decide to live in the possible death nest?

Wait, there are more ... Was the emptied egg a casualty of a nest estate dispute?
Is it related to the four tiny hatchling corpses on the front lawn and the
larger one in the back yard in the past week? Has this been happening the whole time I've lived here and I never noticed? Is there a bird murderer at The
BungaLowell? Should I call Bat Man and Robin to solve the case? And if I get new gutters, will the birds rebuild or become homeless?
