[mou] Re: [mnbird] Mystery Egg

[Steve Sorensen]

Sharon - the egg is probably a Common Goldeneye, which is a cavity nester.
The following was provided by one of our birding experts, Bob Gress: The
birds are slightly larger than a wood duck so size seems logical.
Bellrose's "Ducks, Geese & Swans of North America describes Common Goldeneye
eggs ranging from "dull pale green to olive-green luster."
