Look at what a difference a few days make in baby dove development:

Just five days. Wow.
A dove was killed in our back yard yesterday, probably by
the Cooper's hawk that we see on a regular basis here.

| Between our yard and our next-door neighbors' yard, there is a discrete trail of feathers suggesting that the entire bird was methodically stripped before being consumed. |
Fortunately this victim of Nature was not the mother of our twin fledglings, and she's still feeding them. Any day now, they'll fly the nest.
