Snake Eggs

I’ve been looking over pictures from last summer.

We stopped at a scenic overlook in Western Wyoming for lunch. While the kids waited for me to make sandwiches, they wandered around looking for anything interesting. The Boy came running to tell me he’d found some snake eggs. He made me go look. If you squint just right and tip your head while looking at the second picture, you can just make out some shells.

Yep. Quail eggs. I could have sworn he knew that snakes generally lay their eggs underground, and generally don’t have hard shells, but he’s still insisting they couldn’t just be from some bird because there was not nest. It was snake eggs. No sense arguing. He might be right.
