Mourning Dove nest update - home improvements

I checked on the nest again this morning and I'm happy to report that the foundation seemed to have been shored up a fair bit since I first found the nest on Sunday.
Here's a view from directly below the nest. If today is the first full day of incubation there could be new chicks by June 3rd.

  1. What a beautiful shot of that mourning dove...she looks so sweet peeking through the leaves, and they frame her nicely...

  2. Lovely pictures! We have collared doves here, they look very similar.

  3. That little head peaking up at you is so cute.

    I think your ghost cat is trying to morph himself onto the other side of the window.

  5. How lucky you are to have the nest to watch. We have tree swallows interested in our birdhouses, but the barn swallows that built a nest last year haven't returned. - Margy

  6. Love the little peeking eye. She must feel safe around you.
