After the small flock of mourning doves was seen at last year’s nest under the eaves of our front porch in early August, there’s been a single bird there almost 24/7 ever since.
I assumed that meant that there were egs in the nest, but I never bothered to get a ladder and get nosy or invasive to see.
Now I see that the one, larger mourning dove has been joined by two smaller ones, seen here. Just an assumption on my part, but I’m thinking two eggs hatched.
A couple of times I’ve gone out (they’re right outside the front door) and looked up and if Mom’s not there, these two will open their mouths wide. Um, yeah… Good luck with that. I have my limitations. (Don’t worry, Mom hasn’t abandoned them, she’s there most of the time, I just caught these pictures when she was out hunting down lunch for everyone.)
