New Residence.. Part 2

I didn't post this update originally, but the Momma apparently didn't have a BF on the first go around. I saw the nest empty for two days and went and looked and found unfertilized eggs. I removed the eggs so the nest would be clean and every day I looked to see if the mourning dove had come back.

This morning, I woke up and checked and YES she is back - sitting on her nest and this time she was doing a pretty dance and calling for her hubs. I was so excited!

Then about 2 hours later I looked and was even more excited to see that her hubs was there! YES! I think this time we are going to have two little mourning dove babies in the tree!

Here is a picture. I cant tell who is momma and who is dadda - but one is sitting on the branch of the tree and the other is in the little nook on the nest (you kinda see the tail). I love this picture since the cherry blossom tree is blooming right now too.
