Twins run in my family. I have a twin brother and twin sons. My twins are the fifth set in 4 generations. All fraternal not identical and they don’t skip a generation in my family like a lot of twins do.

While we wait, here’s a few lines from an interesting book I saw, The Comfort of Crows
by Margaret Renkl
First Bird
According to birding tradition, the first bird you see on the first day of the new year sets the tone for your next twelve months.
….who wouldn’t want it to be a crow, to spend the year being watched over by a crow.

Ha, it changed my crow emoji into a bluebird. Well I love them too!

I think crows and ravens are fascinating birds, highly intelligent. However they don't live this far south so I never get to look outside and say "I see a murder of crows!"

Below are the eggs I got from an in law in MT drove 10hr to get there. Candled, I had to remove 4 because they got moosed around, (cough* DH) One looked to old to set.
I can set 19 they are mostly surprise mixes. There may be NN though. She had 30 hens and 2 or 3 roosters.View attachment 3683871

Are we going to name all the new eggs too?

Sad but true, I'm below the purple zone on that picture in Texas. We do have groove-billed Anis, a large black intelligent ugly bird, spent a summer observing a pair that nested in one of our oaks.

I love Mockingbirds! They usually nest around here in the summer but I didn't hear calling any this year.

Clyde is still going. I don't want to name my eggs till I know they are all alive. I am going to name them "b" names but cities from MT.
