There have been a pair of doves feeding in our yard for some time now. Last weekend I noticed they seemed to be looking for a nest..landing in the hanging baskets on the patio.....Well, on Monday they picked the one right by my kitchen window to build their nest. There was one egg on Thursday and today when she left the nest, there was a second one. I have done some research now and we have 12/14 days to wait for the babies. I need to get more pics of the parents so I can figure out who is who...they take turns sitting on the nest and taking care of the hatchlings when they arrive.
