Solitaire Brown-Backed (Myadestes occidentalis) eggs in nest, endemic – Mexico

This endemic builds its nest in the side of banks hidden with moss.  We were luck to see the eggs recently laid.  The mother soon returned to the nest after we continued our mountain trek.  The picture was taken with my iPhone!
