Some of you may remember last spring when we were visited by a family of robins, watching the mom and dad make the nest, lay the eggs and watching the fledglings grow was a highlight of the year for us.
Well, this year, we have another family of birds visiting, morning doves! Actually, they stick around most of the winter but now a pair have made a nest in our rain gutters and we spotted an egg in there this morning. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the mother this morning, so I’m hoping all the recent bad weather didn’t scare her off … fingers crossed.
Morning Dove Egg
Read the intro to this post on Twitter first thing in the morning. I wondered why you seemed so calm about this, then focused one the word “again” and wondered. Once I saw the egg, the aha entered my brain. Hope the mom didn’t get scared away.
Very nice — while I loath most birds, I actually like robins. Congrats!
My cousin had mourning doves nesting in her patio – the hatchlings were so cute! Hope the mom comes back to keep the egg warm. 🙂
Mazel tov!!
Oh, sure. Give me a freakin’ heart attack.
