As I looked out the window, I thought I saw one of my runners carrying an egg in her bill and then dunk that egg in the baby pool. I dashed out, and sure enough, it HAD been an egg. But it was just the emptied and very clean shell that remained.
The runners like to hide their eggs in underbrush and because the shell was spotlessly clean, I'm guessing some wild thing ate all the insides. But, why would my runner: 1) carry an egg, which I've never seen any of them do before; and 2) drop it in the baby pool?
Any thoughts?
