Mourning Doves



Two Mourning Doves have decided to build their nest on one of our front porch lights. I read that it takes two weeks after the eggs have been laid for them to hatch. Soon we will be hearing the chirps of little baby birds. The clutch size is probably going to be two eggs . The eggs are small and white. We have seen both the male and the female sitting in the nest keeping the eggs warm.


I'll Keep you posted.

You see the mom sitting on the eggs and the dad getting twigs to add to the nest. My mom said, "It's probably the dad relaxing and the mom doing all the work."
