Nesting update

14 Jun, 2006  Garden

After about 4 weeks of sitting on the nest, the mourning doves seem to have managed to procreate:

It was hard going for a while there, with storms and cold and rain all attempting to interrupt the process. At least, the weather interrupted my process, since I didn’t get any pictures in between the first days of nesting and the last.

And if you ever wanted to know what a baby pigeon looks like, well, it looks more-or-less just like an adult, only smaller:

The nest sits empty these days. Though it seems like a second clutch might be in the offing (based on certain recently espied, er, behaviors.)
