AboutJulia Booth 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.
Experience I have ten years birding experience in Southern California. I am well versed in all the species living in the Western US. Many hours spent birding. I have been frequently told I should lend my knowledge to good use, and have encountered few bird related questions that I cannot answer.
Organizations Audubon Society
Education/Credentials My education is in art and photography -but I have a substantial portfolio of nature related work.

I was wondering what kind they we're there white and about 1" , i read another letter and i read your answer and the egg that the girl was talking , sounded similar to mine and you said it was a woodpecker egg , i'll send you a picture of it along with thhis question. I live in kingston,ontario. thanks
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.
