Was it built on the ground? Killdeer eggs look like that.

  @Teresa C Hi, I did a Google search on wild bird eggs and these definitely look like sparrow eggs. There are so many different kinds of sparrows it would be hard to say which one.

Looks like cowbird, you can go to your state's agricultural dept and they may have photos and ways to identify. You might want to send them a pic.

Most likely a barn swallow or perhaps a chickadee. Great pic! Thanks for sharing! Let us know if you see mama or the babies, please and thank you.

Barn swallow. Sparrows nests aren't that meticulous. The eggs look similar to a swallow's eggs.

Strangely enough, although you always hear about "robin's egg blue", robins' eggs are more green than blue!

It looks like a English sparrow eggs. I took the picture of the eggs and worked on placing the page next to different eggs on a wild bird site that had samples of different eggs. Don't if I am right. I am working on setting up a bird and bat area in my front and backyard. Robin/USA Lansing, MI

  @Hayesr6 I would agree the eggs look similar, but the neatness of the feather arrangement disputes that. English sparrows are messy nest builders. They use feathers but not as a final layer.
