Yay, baby doves!
We had another set of Mourning Dove eggs laid in our hanging geranium this year. They didn't do too well last year, but this year I set up our patio table umbrella as a bit of a shade and barrier for the nest. That seems to have worked, as the doves were born June 6th and they left the nest June 19th. I've seen the babies a few times since then, including yesterday when their mother or father was feeding them. Here are some pictures.
