aloha,
thanks for showing us your world today, i like this intimate scene, great capture
Sweet! She is so well-camouflaged. I hope you'll be able to take pictures of the babies once they're hatched.
great capture !!
Oooh, be sure not to scare her. She's lovely, as your photo is.
Awww, that dove looks so cosy and so cute. Lovely photo.
oh wow, talk about excellent camouflage, what a brilliant shot.
fabulous shot... I didn't see her at first!
aw, very sweet. I hope she has a mate who gets her food!
Awesome Shot.
What a wonderful shot! Time enough later to prune. It will be exciting to watch the new family.
Lovely shot! I love mourning doves--they remind me of times spent on Cape Cod with my Grampa Parker and his family. Good times :)
She is beautiful. I know nothing about baby doves. We have doves at our feeders everyday, but I have never seen a baby and have no idea as to where they nest. I love this photo.
We had a whole lot of doves this spring but then the Merlin came, now we're down to one or two. they are so calm and not afraid of us. Love the picture. Pgma
She picked a great spot! Nicely camouflaged and so cute.
We have a ton of these in our yard, but I haven't seen any of their nests. I think they nest higher up in my yard.
Adorable. She found a great spot for her family.
this is super! Glad I knew I had to look for something 'cause he chose a great spot to hide
She's beautiful—and I hope you get to show us the babies. I also hope for your sake that this tree is not right outside your bedroom window (unless you're either a heavy sleeper or like to get up at o'dark-thirty).
life + wood + light + treasure: such a beautiful world!
What a nice picture, looks as if she's trying to hide.
yes, a couple years ago I put my spider plants out early since it was very warm. Immediately a dove made a nest in the planter. I couldn't water the plant and it wilted. Mom and dad rotate in 12 hr shifts on the eggs. About 2 weeks later neither baby made it. We quickly emptied the nest, watered the plant and then lo and behold the mother came back and layed 2 more eggs... 2 weeks later, 2 baby birds and then they left after a few days. The following year my plants went out and back came mom and dad... This year I delayed putting out the plants until last weekend and so far I don't have any doves, I hope she went somewhere else... yes, its nice, but I don't want them honestly. Good luck.
