Summary
This dataset includes egg total mercury concentrations, egg total mercury burden, egg length, egg width, predicted egg volume, and predicted fresh wet weight according to egg position in the laying sequence for tree swallow and house wren eggs from the Cache Creek Settling Basin and Cosumnes River Preserve, in California's Central Valley during 2018. These data support the following publication: Hartman, C.A., Ackerman, J.T., Cooney, B., and Herzog, M.P., 2024. Egg mercury concentration and egg size varies with position in the laying sequence in two songbird species. Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.

Purpose
These data were collected to study variation in egg mercury concentration, egg mercury burden, and egg morphometrics by egg position in the laying sequence in two songbird species. Appropriate use of the data include analysis of egg mercury concentration, egg mercury burden, and egg morphometrics by egg position in the laying sequence in songbirds.
