very thick and substantial. Such nests do not readily yield to 

 the weather. The eggs, numbering five on an average, perhaps, 

 measure from an inch and one-eighth to an inch and one-fourth 

 in length by three-fourths to four-fifths in breadth. When 

 fresh, they are of a uniform, rich, greenish-blue color, without 

 spots ; after being blown for some time, especially if exposed to 

 the light, they fade considerably, becoming of a lighter green- 

 ish, with less blue shade.
