I get these all over my yard. Today I watched a mocking bird throw it up. What are they? I even remember finding these all the time as a kid.

It's smaller than a loquat seed. About the size of a tic tac. It's also very glossy. It's like a very small lychee seed

They look like those giant cockroach (waterbug) egg sacks they carry behind them

Same here but I check the seeds of a washy down the street from me. Not it. I thought I found out once but I can't remember or I never found it. One of the two

Darn it! I've gone through this exercise before! I seriously thought that I was seeing those cockroach egg sacks all over the place but I finally figured out what it was. I don't think it was BOP, but now I really can't remember. It's not silver oak, I just looked that up. Hmmmmm, I'm miffed and it's driving me crazy!
