    The doves seem to have found the ideal spot for their nest. The roof should keep the worst of the weather away from them. I look forward to hearing when the eggs hatch and, hopefully, see another video of the chicks.

    Thats the plan Eileen. Today it came a real thunder boomer and they sat there right through it. They are really fun to watch.

    We had Mourning Doves nesting on our pergola, but they seem to have abandoned it after weeks of sitting on it. No sign of eggs or chicks. Odd o_O

    Thanks for the update on your Mourning doves. It's great news that both youngsters fledged and left the nest to make their way in the big, wide world.
