🥚It's National Egg Day — time to shell-ebrate!
Did you know not all bird eggs are oval?

🎵🎙️ It’s only fitting that the Nashville Warbler can perform more than one tune.
Males will serenade females with slow, sweet songs, then crank up the tempo at dawn with fast, sharp songs aimed at rival males.

🥁 “Tat-tat TAT-tat-tat”… That drumming echoing through the aspens is the unmistakable “tattoo” of the Red-naped Sapsucker.
