    What kind of habitat is around the nest? Forest, grassland, etc.

  2. Ava says:

    Also, how high up is the nest?

  3. Ava Johnson says:

    I think it’s probably a Northern Cardinal nest. I see you tagged it Carolina Chickadee, but they nest in cavities and nestboxes, so it can’t be their nest.

    That Cowbird looks really old even though the other eggs haven’t even hatched!

  5. It’s a cardinal eggs.

    It’s in a park. About 25 feet from a lake. I hope the cardinals hatch soon! The cowbird is really cute. It’s doing a good job keeping the eggs warm while the mother is away.

    We saw it today and it has blue feathers, a black beak, and white and black on its face.
