I'm in South-Central British Columbia Canada. I live right on Shuswap Lake. Today, as I was looking at my container garden out front of my house, and when I looked on the ground within a retaining area garden that I don't use, I saw four small eggs within a nest nestled in between some weeds and other debris.
Although I've seen a few birds down in that area while sitting on my bedroom balcony overlooking the area and the lake, I haven't seen any of them close to that nest.
Can anyone help me identify what type of bird these could be from? Because I don't know, I am unsure if the nest has been abandoned, or whether the bird type normally leaves a vacant, egg filled nest.
I have not touched the eggs, and don't plan to unless I can completely verify that they've been abandoned.
Because I'm an avid outdoors person, I have a library of nature books, and have found a couple of birds that might be responsible, but I won't mention them as to not taint anyone else's opinion for now.
Since this is about gardening, here's part of my little container garden I have growing out front (between the lake and my front porch). You can see the two cannabis plants there on the table. Those are my first auto flower plants I've ever grown.
