From far off, I thought this American Crow might have an egg, which seemed off for December.


Now it looks like something else entirely, but what?




Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Mushroom?
That could explain a lot about crows…
Looks sort of felted. Possibly a large moth pupa in the luna/polyphemus genre?
Ooo, that’s definitely a possibility around here.
I thought of it because I have one I found a while back, and that’s what folks on iNaturalists said it was, and it has that sort of surface texture.
Acorn?
Styrofoam packing peanut?
