Yes. Even in the 3" of snow. Seems housekeeping wasn't too keen on us hiding eggs in the lodge. Anyway, while we were waiting to start, we spotted a crow carrying a large brightly colored object in its beak. Sure enough, it was taking part in the egg hunt. We saw the bird fly off with at least 5 eggs. I guess they are used to non-white eggs but they don't get them hard-boiled very often. Yesterday evening we watched an osprey on Bluestone Lake at the mouth of the Bluestone River. Jim Phillips Summers County Pipestem, WV
