The One Left Behind

I was all excited the other day that I saw the Cardinal fledgling take its first few flights under the tutelage of its parents, and the next day, I saw the nest. I was so surprised today and when I went to go inspect it today (to see its construction) to see an abandoned egg from the nest. I've never seen a Cardinal egg before, so it was with mixed emotions I took the shot. Used my 35mm (but a 50mm on my camera). Better get used to using that and my 18-135 because that's all I'll have on my trip. Zoom is toast. All those birds moving have killed it I guess. Fun while it lasted.
Nice detail. Such an interesting looking egg!

Cool that you found the nest. The cardinals here are so good at hiding their actual location. So sad about the egg.

Such a shame. I suppose in nature, there are always eggs that don't make it. It's a lovely speckled colour.
