This is the worst possible place...

...to lay your eggs. The common nighthawk that flies above our house every night has nested behind the crabapple trees. Normally I would be thrilled about this, but Cali has flushed this bird 3 mornings in a row on our daily walk. I finally investigated why this bird is always on the ground there and found these 2 eggs and all of the bird's tail feathers. Cali will now have to walk on leash until these babies fledge.
