First siting this year of Wilson's warbler (male).

My dog - golden retriever - had a little "Mother's Day gift"...she was holding something, we thought it would be a piece of wood, or a rock. When I said "out" she dropped this pinky, pearlish white 1.5" egg! Magical!! She had been holding it unbeknownst to us, I don't know how long! My first thought was a towhee egg (one picture showed them pink, but guess they are spotted?), but have not seen them since April. Could it be a flicker egg? I have a flicker in the snag with the nuthatch. It just looked smaller than I expected a flicker egg to be. Any ideas? Guess Curry is a "bird dog". I don't know if she picked it up under the nest or where, but she held it so gingerly...:(
