Three eggs, well done.

Making dehydrated eggs, the hard way.
So... The eggs are done. After two months of hopeful waiting (yeah, we know that it shouldn't take that long) we finally gave up on the bird nest full of eggs hanging on our front door. We hadn't seen momma bird in weeks, and now that we're into the Arizona summer, the front door gets a few hours of pretty intense direct sunlight each evening. Reluctantly, we decided to take down the wreath.

The eggs were almost entirely weightless, and looked pretty sunbleached. We haven't broken them, but my guess is that there's a few grams of dehydrated (just add water?) egg inside each of them at this point. Too bad.
