The male bird incubates during the day and the female at night n the case of
Rock doves, so maybe the same applies to bronzewings.

Subject: Common Bronzewings on nests
Over the past couple of years, when I've seen a Common Bronzewing sitting on
a nest, it has always been a male. Initially I was just interested to know
that duties were shared, but now I'm wondering, do males do the daylight
hours, and females the nights, or have I just seen a chance
pattern! Does anyone know?
Thanks for any input.
