Why did President Truman ask Congress to give financial aid to Greece and Turkey?
Actually checking the nest for the number of eggs while a finch is sitting on them can cause nest abandonment. After mating, a female finch can store sperm in her reproductive tract for up to 16 days. Female finches generally lay an egg every day, commencing between five and seven days after breeding. The average clutch consists of four to six eggs, although the overall number varies from three to eight.
Unlike most lizards that lay one large clutch of eggs per year, anoline lizards lay a series of single-egg clutches. An A. carolinensis female will lay an egg about every week during the 4-month breeding season. This means that a female may lay a total of 15-18 eggs for the summer.
