Sad news...

Today, while walking our friends Eric and Jessica out, we made a sad discovery. I was telling Jessica about the sweet Momma bird and her cute little eggs that I have blogged about. It was when I was walking her over to the tree to see for herself that I noticed something was terribly wrong. The perfect little nest was not in it's correct place. It was turned sideways and I was sad to discover no eggs in the abandoned nest. Sadly, we looked down on the ground and found one little egg laying beneath the nest. What happened next was the worst part. Matt picked the egg up to place it back into the nest and it fell down and cracked open! Jessica and I were too horrified to look. I'm so sad. I know this is just Mother Nature but it broke my heart! That Momma bird was so protective of her little eggs and now I am guessing they are all gone. We think it must of been the rain that dislodged the nest. Poor Momma bird. :(
