I recently took a walk off-trail at Papscanee Island in Rensselaer County, New York, taking advantage of deer trails to find my way through the thick brush. Good luck, egg! I was startled by an American Robin flushing from directly in front of me, not more than three feet away.

When there are cuckoos around – which parasitize Daurian Redstarts – the females have a higher rate of egg rejection. The Grey Nightjar is not really affected by real estate prices (always an important topic in China) as it does not build a nest – the eggs are simply laid on leaf litter or bare ground.

One Roe Deer buck ran across our path. Sadly, there have been no males displaying for the last five years, so the remaining 8 females – the entire Serbian population – may only incubate unfertilised eggs. Brown Hares were everywhere. The grass is taller now and some of them may even be incubating, secretive on their nests.

It’s during these months when I cringe anytime there’s a dog on the beach (though usually dogs aren’t allowed at all), for fear it might go after a fuzzy chick or adult sitting on eggs. I saw the first sign of the impending breeding season on the beach at Deer Lake State Park.

In breeding season grazing cattle may walk through the nest, breaking the eggs, while wild and domestic pigs may eat both eggs and chicks. In short grass, you do not know is it a Roe Deer or a Great Bustard, they are very similar in size. What treats do they face? No, far from it.

While larger animals like deer and elk are usually able to escape the fire’s path, smaller animals like squirrels, foxes and snakes are not always so lucky. Birds are able to fly away, but their nests and eggs can be destroyed. So what do these facts mean for our wildlife? Some animals are injured and killed by wildfires.

The analysis of Python stomach contents indicates that they eat mammals, as small as mice, and as large as a fully grown deer. Some of these snakes had evidence of birds in their stomachs and some were gravid with up 55 eggs nearly ready to be laid. Rock Python. Photo Credits: Samuel Wright.
