I do realize this one is going to be extra hard since the mystery animal is still inside the egg but it’s a holiday so everything is just a little worse today, you know?
This is just for fun and the only rule is: no researching. Post your best guesses in the comments. Answer will be posted in the comments tomorrow.

/ November 27, 2014I think it has to be a bird that nests on rock ledges. The shape helps keep the egg from rolling too far (it will mostly spin in circles), and the coloration would help it blend in. I’m thinking the bird also doesn’t make much of a nest. Some kind of sea bird, like a puffin, or related bird, is my guess. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and Shirley, I am very thankful for your work, your bravery, and your compassion for animals. (And I thank Billy for being a great guy!)

/ November 27, 2014Thank you for your kind words Kate and for stopping by to have a smart sounding guess on the holiday. Everyone here is so much smarter than me. It keeps me humble.

These eggs belong to the guillemot. From this animal’s Wiki entry:
