I'm no expert at eggs but I'll guess a Mockingbird?

The eggs do have a similar resemblance to a mockingbird but that’s not what they are.
Hint - It’s a ground nesting bird…

Dove? Osprey?

They sure are pretty whatever they are. Do you find nests and eggs frequently in your yard?

Don't know about the bird -- but great shot.

my guess is Killdeer

Alan Pulley said...

April - You are too kind! Thank you so much! God bless you!

Catherine - I do find nest in my yard from time to time. I try to make my yard as bird friendly as possible. Many of the nest in my yard are from birdhouses that I set up for them; like bluebirds and purple martins.

Harriet & Beth - Thank you

Darla - good guesses but not quite...

Colleen - you are CORRECT!! Great job! I'll be posting more about killdeer in my next post.
