Plovers arrive on the breeding grounds during mid-March through mid-May and remain for 3 to 4 months per year. They lay 3 to 4 eggs in shallow scraped depressions lined with light colored pebbles and shell fragments.

How many times a year do plovers breed?

"They'll have two clutches a year." Plovers are also known for noticing their reflection on objects and pecking at it.

What time of year do plovers lay eggs?

Plovers usually lay their eggs after local rains. They lay up to four eggs on the ground in a small depression. However, these birds have now come to accept flat roofs as a suitable nesting site, as they are generally safe from humans and predation.
