Egg Question

Post by AlwaysInTheWoods »

Here's some pics I took of eggs (don't know much about). The eggs were approx 1" long, but clearly these were eggs from last yr cause they looked very worn. There was 2 holes about 15 yards away from each other. The holes were about the width of an avg person's fist. Each hole had about 8-10 eggs (that were still somewhat intact). Neither hole had much of a "mound" to it. They were both on the side of a small path.

This was in an area full of mature pine, lots of undergrowth, and very white "sugar" sand in South Jersey.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Although redbellies are fairly common, I always enjoy seeing them.
