The nest is impossible to see from just a little ways back.

The egg must have come from this nest that was hard to see even close up.

The tiny egg has little spots or speckles on it. It had been cracked open rather than squashed, but I won't swear to that. Where did it come from?

Zoey suddenly got very interested in something in the leaves, licking motions. I had to get close to see that it was a tiny egg.

20 below zero

Out here where the wind blows.

not really -20

I've always thought this one was off. The fancy weather station about 50 feet to the right, says -9.7 at this time.

At this date and time, the temp on the weather station says 12.7.

First snowfall also first real cold
