Arctic Tern Egg

Arctic tern eggs are camouflaged extremely well. I spent nearly twenty minutes searching for this egg that I knew was in this area and was extra careful not to accidentally step on it. The nest did contain two eggs a few days before but was now abandoned.

Can you find the egg?

The arctic tern migrates nearly 50,000 miles from the Antarctic to the Arctic to lay its well-camouflaged eggs.
