Abandoning Birds Eggs

The first year, the female sat on the nest from the beginning of March to the end of May before abandoning the nest. I’ve read that both parents will incubate the eggs, but I like to think that the female is more likely to be doing that. I saw her poking around in the nest which made me think she was turning the eggs.

Especially the bird breeding season, which passes by at the blink of an eye. Two weeks in July though eats through prime birding time up here. But I just haven’t seen birds like normal, although a large part of that has been effort. Fresh whitewash gives me hope that they were still there, but I’ve not seen a bird.

Nowadays, it has a feeling of an abandoned construction site. There is not a slightest trace of asphalt, nor the promised sewage ponds, which may be good for the two Little Ringed Plover families incubating their eggs at the site as we speak, but is far from good for the people living there.

The female chooses the nest site, builds the nest, lays around 10 eggs over a two week period and incubates them for about a month. After doing all this pretty much by themselves, the females abandon the young before they can fly, usually 30 to 50 days after they hatch. References: 1 Birds of North America Online a.

Lake Kerkini National Park in the north of Greece is the very best birding area in the Balkan Peninsula and definitely among the top ten hotspots of Europe. Some 320 species have been recorded here, and in springtime it is possible to observe more than 150 bird species in a week. The lake lies at a mere 35 m / 115 ft a.s.l.

Just look at this bird: Do birds get any blander? Had I not been with some European birders who knew what they were about I would never have noticed the adult Barred Warblers in the vicinity, of which I only got fleeting glimpses, and would likely have been flummoxed completely by this bland little bird.

The threat of extinction of such iconic Florida bird prompted State and Federal agencies to find solutions to stop and reverse the declining trend. Native snails lay 20-50 eggs at a time during the spring. Exotic snails lay 300-500 eggs at a time, lay eggs throughout the year, and are more resistant to environmental changes.
