I think that this is incorrect...both by observing the behaviour of spur winged plovers in our backyard in SE Qld and by the following information:
'The incubation period is 28-30 days but addled eggs have been incubated for 55-62 days. Young leave the nest almost immediately after hatching, and some young leave before all eggs have hatched.'

A brown pelican can live for about 43 years.
There are many different species of Plover. The gestation time varies based on the species, but generally runs between 27 to 62 days.
until they hatch
32-35 days.
yes.... they lay up to 16 to 30 eggs at a time that's a lot of eggs
Googalvayne
they can lay hundreds of eggs
about how many eggs does a minibeast lay
Pelicans can't have babies. The female pelican can lay up to six eggs, but usually she lays two eggs, plus or minus 1. Pelican eggs hatch into pelican chicks. But statistically, in a safe colony of pelicans, only 95% of the eggs can be expected to produce chicks. However, for various reasons, pelican chicks also have a high mortality rate. So, generally, beyond the first three weeks, only one chick per pair of adult pelicans usually survives.
They lay up to 200,000 eggs
They are mammals and do not lay eggs.
Only the females lay eggs.
anacondas lay 20 to 80 eggs
They can lay 200 eggs at a time.
Jaguars are mammals. Mammals do not lay eggs.
Cougars are mammals, they don't lay eggs.
