A time-lapse video of a bird's nest in a tree has a surprise ending that demonstrates what could happen when you leave your progeny unguarded. "Was hoping to see the eggs hatch but instead this happened..." wrote the person who posted the video to YouTube. Then, without a moment's hesitation, it stretched its jaw to wrap around the first of four eggs. When the nest's feathered caregiver flew off, a black snake with a head about the size of one of the blue eggs, slithered up and straight to the unguarded morsels.
