Who doesn't love Easter eggs? There's the plastic, multicolored eggs. Candy eggs. Dyed eggs. The ones filled with candy, or money or both. Great times!

So one year, I thought I'd do a different take on colorful eggs for a page. The original idea was to do a page on how a female's brightly colored eggs signaled she was quite a catch to male birds. And it was for timed to run on Easter. Seriously ...

But research proved there wasn't much more to that statement for me to illustrate, so I had to find a Plan B. I opted for a page on the variety of colors and patterns of bird eggs — all thanks to a book I found about bird eggs.

I loved the idea of having Nature's own green, red, blue and spotted eggs. I also learned there's a variety of egg shapes too. And that the largest egg doesn't always belong to the biggest bird.

So why don't you check it out and read on to find out more ...
