Baby (bird) Watch


A few weeks ago, two common doves started building a nest on our porch. Isn't momma bird cute sitting in one of my strawberry pots from last year? She and her husband were working their little hearts out, so I just couldn't make them start over building their home somewhere else. On Thursday, the momma laid one egg, and then left for the evening, and I think she may have laid a second egg when she returned. She hasn't left the nest since (she may be switching with the male we were told but we haven't seen that yet.)

Today is day 2 of incubation! We are so excited for our little birdie parents and can't wait to see the little bird(ies) that should hatch in about 14 days!
