Crude Nature

I was very excited the other day when I found that I had a birds nest in my hanging flower pot. I thought we'd get to witness some of life's little miracles, much like ant Polly did a couple months ago. However when I went to carefully water my plants yesterday, I noticed one of the eggs were gone. I'm not sure what happened to it, unless a larger meaner bird came along and ate it. I haven't seen a mother bird sitting on the nest either. Oh well, it made for a good picture.
