The first eggs are laid during the first week of July each year and if these eggs fail to hatch or the chicks are lost they will lay further eggs within a few weeks. Sadly a lot of eggs are lost to feral cats and chicks are sometimes taken by birds of prey. Nest site with 3 eggs-one white! Time will tell!
The following maps I created on eBird show the dramatic growth in the spread of the Eurasian Collared-Dove from 2002 to 2014. This first map is data from 2002 through 2003. They usually lay two eggs per clutch and most often, successive clutches will be laid while adults are still attending fledglings!
The breeding season in the north of Australia starts from about July 1st and there are often several attempts if the eggs fail, are lost or the chicks don’t survive. On July 1st 2007 an egg was laid by a Pied Oystercatcher that was known to be an adult in 2002 and had been banded in nearby Roebuck Bay.
Second they are reliant on Horseshoe Vetch on which they lay their eggs and on which the caterpillars feed. Thus it was that in 2002 a re-introduction scheme successfully brought the Adonis Blue Butterfly back to the North Downs.
As we know from the French documentary La Marche de l’Empereur ( March of the Penguins) , the females skedaddle from the breeding colony once she produces an egg, leaving the egg to be incubated by the males, who fast for 120 days while keeping the egg in a flap of their feet. (I
It’s a joy to witness, hear, comprehend, and know. * Flight Calls of Migratory Birds by Bill Evans & Michael O’Brien, originally available in CD-ROM format in 2002, is now available free at [link]. ** For more on female bird song and The Galbatross Project, see [link].

This species prefers wetlands and its numbers have been decimated due to a combination of habitat destruction caused by human population growth and illegal removal of birds and eggs from the wild for the pet and zoo trade. A pair of Hooded Vultures in Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania by Adam Riley.
The most common mating strategy in birds is social monogamy, found in roughly 92% of birds species in the world (Jenni 1974, Owens 2002). Social monogamy is where one male and one female pair and share the responsibilities of nest building, incubation, and chick feeding (Jenni 1974, Owens 2002). of all bird species, is polyandry.
I also enjoyed the breeding photo series, showing Downy Woodpecker eggs and then hatchlings within a breeding chamber in a tree, with only a few wood chips to support them. Back of the book material includes an almost-comprehensive nine-page Bibliography of books and articles published after 2002.
From 2002-2005 I was heavily ensconced in a bird and waterfowl phase with sometimes daily drama of the life-and-death variety that led to my unintentional education about all things duck (Muscovies, in particular). Too Early Charley was a Muscovy who had just busted through his shell with his egg tooth.
