Up there in the eastern panhandle it could be one of those washington,d.c. dingleberries that slept down. RICHARD GAUTHIER pure bred hillbilly,from summers county.
Well, I exchanged e-mails with an ornithologist from University of Maryland yesterday and we've eliminated just about every possibility except that "DC Dingleberry" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The most likely conclusion is that it is an unusually large egg from a Canada Goose that either was brought to my mulch pile by some other animal or the goose nested in the mulch pile at the nursery and the egg got delivered (no extra charge /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif ) with my 8 yards of mulch.
Yeah, I've been considering cracking it open but not sure I really want to see what's inside. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
WVBill, My guess is you are right. You don't want to see it. It's probably dead (if it was ever alive), probably not pretty, and probably stinks. Ever hear of a rotten egg? Get rid of it before it gets cracked open and your eyes start watering from the sulfur smell. Just my thoughts on the topic.
