Hi. Need help w/ nest + eggs id Ohio (1 Viewer)

We just found a nest on the ground in the middle of our yard (northern Ohio). Two eggs are inside--a pale blue with brown speckles. Any ideas?

Well I’m not an expert by any means w/ birds let alone eggs, but I’ll venture a guess; it maybe that they are eastern bluebird eggs/nest. Depends on size too of course, what size were the eggs, and how big was the nest, and what shape? Few more details may help other, more knowledgeable, folks w/ an ID.

eastern bluebird eggs are a pale blue with a few specks and about 0.8 inches in length. their nest is generally a loose cup of grass/plant stems, though i think they may tend to favor boxes, i'm not sure.

The nest being on the ground suggests that it could be a sparrow. Both Chipping and Song Sparrows have eggs that are bluish/greenish with brown specks, though the Chipping nests mostly in bushes. So I'd guess it's probably a Song Sparrow. Like Bubo said, can you give us more details?

Hi Isommer, Welcome to Bird Forum from Admin and the Moderators.

Sorry I can't help with an ID. Your sure to get many opinions on this one!

Look forward to reading about your Bird Day in Ohio.

Based on Warbler's suggestions of possible Chipping or Song Sparrow, I found a couple of photos of nests with eggs. Does yours look like either of these?
