I found a blue bird's egg on Austin Street this morning. Until closer inspection, I thought it was a piece of candy. Cracks encircle two small holes in the egg, which has been drained except for a small amount of dried-up matter that I prefer not to think about.

It makes you wonder (1) how the egg could have gotten emptied, and (2) how it got into the street, and (3) how is it that the egg remains largely intact.
