Answer
You just found them sitting on the grass? They weren't broken or cracked? Did they appear to have fallen from somewhere?

I didn't get the image. If you can't post it here, send it to my e-mail at Juliabohemian@aol.com.

There are a lot of birds with white eggs -so it's not necessarily a woodpecker.

Expertise

I can answer questions about bird identification (by sight or sound), behavior, distribution, population, conservation, mating, nesting, fledging and feeding. I do have some practical knowledge about foreign species, but identification skills are limited in that arena. Bear in mind that as much as I know, it's possible that at least some of you will ask a question that I am unable to answer. At which point I would direct you to wherever or whomever I thought could provide you with that information.

Experience

I have 15 years birding experience in Southern California.

Organizations
Audubon Society

Education/Credentials
My education is in art and photography -but I have a substantial portfolio of nature related work.
