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.

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.

What remains of their range is currently protected as the Pastures of Great Bustard Special Nature Reserve, but in the last several years there are only a dozen birds left, and only one adult male among them. Not the strictly protected bustards, but Red Foxes, Brown Hares, Pheasants , as well as Hooded Crows and Rooks. No, far from it.

Both Elk and songbirds have the same basic method of inseminating eggs, which is one of the steps in reproduction (but not by any means the first!), Songbirds grow the offspring internally for only a very short while, and then pop out an egg, which is then cared for over a significant period of time until it hatches.

The Association for the Protection of the Great Bustard from Serbia had just about enough counters to cover the Pastures of Great Bustard Special Nature Reserve and the neighbouring areas (birds often spend the winter in arable fields outside the reserve). It therefore qualifies as Vulnerable. What conclusions to draw from this exercise?

As I watched, it slowly moved into a patch of dried vegetation and I noticed that it was settling over a single egg. Two or three eggs may be laid and either bird may incubate. Sondra Mar 22nd, 2011 at 6:29 pm AN excellent series and how COOL to see the egg–chicks will soon be in the picture! I am around to learn more.

This happened to me recently on a birding trip, with somewhat egg-on-the-face results. A wide-open field in a wind-protected spot, recently visited by both mechanical and living manure-spreaders. I was on a birding quest trip with my friend Geoff Heeter. This was Snow Bunting heaven. The proposal from U.S. Wicked, right?
