Assuming that the new eggs were laid on Monday, they should hatch around July 20th and fledge around August 3rd.

Nest update - brood 3, 2009
As I posted on Sunday, our doves are back! The last two chicks fledged last Wednesday and by Sunday morning the two adults were nest building again - this time they are above our front door again. On Sunday the two babies stuck around during the construction phase but are now hanging out in the neighbourhood.

Wow those guys are prolific! Thanks for keeping us abreast with their story. This is such fun.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo diary you are keeping on the doves. You should be on one of those wild animal shows talking in the whispered voices they use, "Now here is the head of the male dove. I think he sees us..."
ReplyDeleteWe have had a tough year for baby birds at my house this year. Not sure why. Well, I take that back. Roadrunners. Robbers of the nests! Ppsshhhttt!
