Excerpt from Ornithologist and Oologist, Vol. 18: Hyde Park, Mass;, January, 1893 The period of incubation is about 4 weeks, but will vary, as some eggs in a nest will hatch in four weeks after the first was laid, while others will come at almost any time after 4 weeks. An egg is laid every other day, or a set of 5 in 10 days. Incubation begins with the first egg laid. Only one brood is raised unless they are disturbed, and then I have known one bird to lay 3 sets of 7 eggs in one nest.
