If you want to pretend to combine learning Mandarin and learning about this species, watch this video. When there are cuckoos around – which parasitize Daurian Redstarts – the females have a higher rate of egg rejection. There is also the usual article about the first sighting of the species at a new location. How exciting.

Northern Flicker nestlings hatch slightly asynchronously as the adults begin incubation one to two days before the last egg is laid. They also have this strange looking white fleshy fold at the jaw hinge, and a white egg tooth. I recorded this strange sound heard in the video below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNZgQc2NG8g.

This weekend I returned to the scene to find the bird spending lots of time sitting on the nest – possibly incubating eggs – though she didn’t seem entirely satisfied with the status of her nest. At the beginning of the video the hummingbird is busy adding more spider silk to the nest. She sits tight in this video.

There are no Atlantic Puffins on Hog Island; they live locally only on Eastern Egg Rock, a painstakingly-restored seabird nesting colony which hosts three species of tern (including the endangered Roseate Tern ), Eider Ducks , Black Guillemots , and more, as well as 120 pairs of puffins. There’s one!”. I wanted more birds.

According to the HBW, when breeding, male birds do most of the incubation and parenting while females often leave the nest up to one week before the eggs hatch. According to Couzens, after laying the eggs, females sometimes immediately abandon their first mate and pair up with another male. But maybe that is actually a good thing.

Speaking of pregnant snakes, do sea snakes lay their eggs ashore like sea turtles or do they keep them internally until the young are ready to hatch/ be born, like some sharks? These do lay eggs on land and are (reasonably) mobile once they hit the beach. It seems like there is great diversity in this continent. Wicked, right?
