In it was an old squirrel nest...not unusual for nest boxes. Underneath the squirrel nest was a clutch of five eggs...likely Wood Duck eggs, though I haven't tried to ID them yet. Did the female (wood) duck get depredated? Did she abandon the clutch? Because of the squirrel? Why didn't the squirrel eat the eggs?
