No, this isn't a nest and those aren't eggs inside. It's actually a flowering dogwood's flower bud opening; the "eggs" are the buds of the actual flowers, what most folks consider the flowers are really bracts. The bracts in wild flowering dogwoods are white (sometimes with a very slight pinkish cast), cultivated varieties have either pink or white bracts.

Love dogwoods. Ours just dropped its bracts. Also love the red berries end of season but not sure how to make pop.
