Fern is perfect!!!
If you think I'm going to go out there and peek under the feathers to tell a her from a him... :laugh:
Heck, how would I know? It might have been the father. Not sure.
Hmmm, according to this, it's the father who flies in to switch out places:
Reproduction: Breeds mostly from late January to late September (peak in May and June); in California can breed
almost all year, depending on weather (Nice 1923). Raises 2-6 broods a year.
Oh hell no!! :o
Almost invariably lays 2 eggs per clutch (range 1-3). Usually breeds solitarily, but sometimes more than 1 nest in same tree. Male incubates much of day and female at night, for 14-15 days. Young fed seeds and crop milk by both adults during nestling period of 13-15 days (VanVelzen 1974).
