On a hot day, my brother, Jake, noticed a nest in our back yard! Soon we saw a bird in that nest. We named her Penelopy. My mom thought she was a dove. She had big beautiful eyes, black spots on her wings, and a strip of blue running down her back.

A few weeks later, I spotted two other birds in the nest. How do you think they got there? Do you think they are her babies?

When I went outside to check on Penelopy, she wasn't there and neither were the two birds, but I saw somthing else that took my breath away.

AN EGG!
Sadly, later in the week we couldn't find the egg, Penelopy, or the two birds. :( Maybe a preditor ate the egg; maybe it hatched and flew away, or maybe Penelopy took it somewhere. I didn't know because there was no egg shell to be seen or found.
Have you ever experianced something like this?
Where did the two other birds come from?
What do you think happend to the egg?
