Eggs of the Pine-Grosbeak are mostly of an elongate oval form 

 and are usually rather glossy. The ground-colour is greenish-blue, 

 boldly spotted and blotched with chocolate and reddish-brown and 

 underlying lilac-grey. The markings are distributed over the entire 

 shell, but they are denser and larger over the broader half of the 

 egg, where they often form a zone and are more or less confluent. 

 Specimens measure from '98 to 1-12 in length, and from *67 to "72 

 in breadth.
