The marbled murrelet is a small seabird that lives along the coastline of the Pacific Northwest. They build their nests, up to 20 miles from the sea, in the old-growth forests of the region. The nests, constructed of a thick layer of moss, are built as high as 250 feet above the ground on horizontal branches of evergreen trees. In addition to the destruction of old-growth forests, another contributing factor to the marbled murrelet's classification as a threatened species is the fact it lays only one egg per season.

As with all Bone Clones® products, only the finest casting materials are used to cast our North American bird egg series. Our expert artists paint each with meticulous care to match the eggs that were used in the casting process. Each egg is hand painted with permanent dyes and sealed with a resistant coating that makes it ideal for handling, study, teaching, as well as for display. In nature, eggs vary from region to region as well as from bird to bird. The colors and patterns used were determined by the egg used as well as reference material to find a happy medium that would be representative of the species.
