Birds in the first half of summer

I snipe, snipe and woodcock also are very late clutches. But most of them at this time already has chicks. It's too late you can find the eggs of coastal swallows. Bricklaying they stretched for a long time. Appearing in the middle lane at the beginning of May, beregovushki not immediately begin to nest. By this time, not yet quite dried shore. Maybe this is happening and from some other cause. Much is explained by the peculiarities of their nests. Beregovushki belong to those birds that breed societies. For nests, they always choose the vertical steep banks of rivers or ravines. Here they are arranged in dozens, hundreds, and sometimes (on the Volga), even thousands of pairs. More likely to choose them rather high cliffs shore meadow. This choice can be explained not only by the fact that this beach more deserted. Importantly, it often forms a steep inaccessible cliffs. Beregovushki before proceeding to the device sockets, must wait until the drop is too high water. Swallows are usually dug earth moves up to a meter and even more in length, takes, of course, a lot of time. It happens that during the digging, they stumble upon a large rock that stops working. Then they have to throw started running, and they were taken to dig again somewhere nearby. No wonder that these families are starting to clutch too late: in late June or early July. In quail broods are not only in June and July, for even in August, and in exceptional cases, and in September. All summer you hear the PA fields on the evening zoryam glib "sleep-time" these restless birds. Many birds in late June, lay eggs for a second time. Cosi redstart, blackbirds, siskins, wood larks, as well as urban and barn swallows. In the last third of June comes the second clutch of wild pigeons. Different species of tits are also the second clutch. At the same time the majority of bird chicks first nest grow up and get stronger so that they begin to gradually depart from the nest and seek out their own writing. Until mid-July, the young emerge from the crows, rooks and magpies, chicks fledge wild doves and nuthatches. Making his way through a bowl of bushes at the beginning of summer is already possible to stumble na broods of young thrushes. Ineptly they flit from one bush to another under the cries of parents. In the first third of summer flies the nest with chicks in the kite, goshawk, buzzard hawk small-sapsana2, as well as in skopy3 (predator, feeding on fish), different species of owls, owls, and owls. In grouse, in case of late laying, the queen sits on the eggs until the end of June. In early July, there broods. Grown-up chickens can be found in the middle of the month. Chicks wearing a brown pen, and this makes them invisible. On the dark forest floor they are almost impossible to find when they seemed dead, squat, and hides the signal of the mother. They do this instinctively, and to teach them this habit is not necessary. In the second half of July, the chicks are growing up and learns to fly well. They eat berries and various insects. Similar to keep themselves and their broods of grouse. As soon as sleep, benefits more puff plant, grouse are moving closer to a berry and feed on blueberries, strawberries. Old roosters start shedding and gradually change the spring pen na new outfit. Paul bushes in the hole parameters of soft leaf litter appears in the sixty-grouse chicks. They immediately start to go for the mother and tear ant heap. In swamps and coastal reeds, little available for a person younger generation grows up wild ducks.
