The singing season typically begins in mid-autumn and peaks around late December and early January, when nest building begins.
The nests are generally of a bulky build, with outer layer of twigs, a middle layer of twigs, grasses, and rootlets, and an inner layer of insulating materials such as fuzzy plant seeds, leaves or flowers.
Feathers and artificial material have been used as well, but these instances are rare.
Dense and thorny shrubs such as the saltbush are preferred sites, although artificial sites such as abandoned vehicles and heights as high as 2.4 m with smoke trees have been used when the general distance of nests off the ground are usually only half as low.
Both sexes take part in nest building, although the participation of the male varies.
Nest fidelity is generally observed with the species until one of the mates die.
The territories of the nesting pairs may be adjacent to one another due to food sources, although conflicts are rarely had.

The egg dates generally range from February to the end of May in California, and in the Sonoran region from December to April, though dates have been listed as early as late January and as late as the latter part of June.
The clutch size ranges from 2 to 5 eggs, but the number is generally 3–4.
The eggs are large-sized and bluish green that may either contain various degrees of brown spotting or no markings.
The eggs are generally laid once a day and incubation begins once the last egg is laid, and lasts from 14 to 20 days.
The male generally provides the food for the female, as well as food for the young during the brooding stages.
The female is more likely to incubate during at night, however.
If the nest is destroyed or preyed upon, a new one is generally built, as they can have up to three broods during the reproductive season.

The young are fed by both parents during the fledgling period, which can span from 12 to 20 days, and can be continued to be fed after for 15 to 18 days afterward, especially if the female is brooding the next clutch.
At around 30 days old, the fledglings disperse, and may form small groups.
