[Maine-birds] Cardinal's Eggs Disappearing

Can someone please say how a Cardinal's nest in a 4-foot wild blueberry bush could be missing eggs? My daughter glimpsed 3 speckled eggs in the nest one day, then only two the next, and today there's only one left. No branches on the bush were damaged or broken.
We've got plenty of native critters and woodland birds at the eastern edge of the Mt A conservation region. Could they have been stolen, or could the mama bird have deemed them infertile and pushed the eggs out? Thank you.
