Egg laying dates and clutch size vary by region; in Texas the time period is from late February to late August, in Iowa it ranges from late April to June. The clutch size is generally 3 to 6 eggs, but can reach as high as seven in Texas. The eggs are creamy white with brown or reddish - brown spots, and are more heavily marked at the broad end. The eggs are incubated by the female for 12 -- 16 days. After the young hatch, they are fed exclusively on invertebrates and they fledge in 12 -- 14 days. As many as three broods may be raised by a pair in a single breeding season. In one study, three of the 70 fledglings remained or defended territory adjacent to the natal area.
