While learning how to operate our new video camera I decided to make a wild life reports of sorts to the events leading up to this new chapter in the jungle of our yard. http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-pair-of-doves-come-home-to-roost.html
The doves seem to have found the ideal spot for their nest. The roof should keep the worst of the weather away from them. I look forward to hearing when the eggs hatch and, hopefully, see another video of the chicks.
Thats the plan Eileen. Today it came a real thunder boomer and they sat there right through it. They are really fun to watch.
We had Mourning Doves nesting on our pergola, but they seem to have abandoned it after weeks of sitting on it. No sign of eggs or chicks. Odd
Our doves raised 2 chicks and then flew the coop so to speak. Here is a post with a video of them feeding the chicks: http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-update-on-our-nesting-doves.html We really enjoyed tehm and hope they will return to do it again some day.
Thanks, Cappy, ya'll make good videos.. Very interesting and beautiful story of the Mourning Doves.. Hank
Thanks Hank we really appreciate the kind words we revel in all living things God has blessed our back yard jungle with.
Thanks for the update on your Mourning doves. It's great news that both youngsters fledged and left the nest to make their way in the big, wide world.
Thanks guys I am so very glad ya enjoyed it. We spent long minutes watching them through the kitchen door. They were nice to have and we hope they come back some day.
