Due to some confusion on Mrs. Parker's part:), there were only three ornithologists today. Here is what they saw...
There were pinkish-white eggs. 6 eggs! And they aren't blue birds eggs. We weren't sure what kind of birds laid the eggs but as we were leaving we saw a bird with a blue back. It wasn't our bluebirds, the blue was more turquoise or navy blue. The body was long and thin and it looked like it was wearing a tuxedo. It also had a white face with a black mask.
We went inside and did a Google search on cavity birds. It was a Tree Swallow!!! We then looked up the information on the Cornell University Ornithology Lab website.

Here are our pretty new eggs covered in feathers. The feathers were smooth, wide and big. They were gray and white. The eggs were hidden way down deep inside. We could barely see them.
As soon as we left the male came back.
