The wife got very lucky at the local tribal casino. We won a $1000 random prize and was comp'd a room for the night.

A fantastic view of Mt Saint Helens in the distance and I-5. :)
And here's a breathtakingly beautiful view of my screen ... while I'm enviously looking at your most recent post ... :confused:

20230608 three eggs.jpg

Found these in a bush in my garden.
Are these three eggs all from the same bird or is one from a brood parasite?
The two large eggs hatched a couple days ago. The blue one hatched today. I think I know the bird species. It would be interesting to find out what the chicks are.

As far as I can tell, the nesting bird is a Chipping Sparrow that laid the blue egg.

I am still waiting to see who laid the larger eggs. The chicks are huge, could be a Brown-headed Cowbird.
