Wow, I can't believe it was
a full month ago that I posted about
our latest mourning dove occupation. And exactly a year ago yesterday that I posted about
our first mourning dove occupation. These critters are nothing if not consistent in their reproductive timeline.
And (
drumroll, please!) here they are in their almost-fledged glory, looking like feathered versions of
Yin and Yang with one eyeball apiece showing - the babies!

That is one useful hanging basket. This year I put
asparagus fern there, which the Mama seemed to like better than the last thing I chose, which was a broad leafed plant that didn't provide as much camoflage.
Anyway, I'm glad I managed to snag that photo op, because it won't be but a few more days before those flight feathers finish coming in, and off they'll go to take their places in this world.
