The latest news is that there was 1 chick in the nest in our tree and as of today, it has fledged. Well, it has moved out of the nest on to another branch of the same tree.
Here's a family portrait of Mom, Dad and Junior (the small one on the right).
They are such a lovely colour. We had a little woodpecker hammering away in our maple tree yesterday and tonight. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing fledgling doves, unlike some baby birds, they really are perfect images of their parents aren't they? Glad they continue to be safe!!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh---- love the family portrait! So glad they are still nesting near you!

Great family shot. We saw a House Finch family at Mom's bird feeder this week. The baby must have just fledged. Mom was teaching the baby how to eat the seeds from the feeder. Interesting to watch. - Margy
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine great shot I love our Doves I am convinced they follow us as I have always had them at each house looking after us, gaurding us. XXX Don
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone. Our tree is empty again but just when you least expect it they seem to show up. I'll keep looking up. There are lots of doves in our neighbourhood so we won't get much of a chance to miss them.

ReplyDeleteSo glad I came by in time to catch this post. Love your dove photos.
ReplyDeleteIt is still dry as a bone here. Believe it or not, all the rain headed our way missed us. It seems to break up when it hits the bay. We have not had a good rain in over a month; mostly spit, and so hot it just evaporates. This has been the hottest weather on record for us.

Take care.
