Another Dove Story
I got an email from my friend M this morning with pictures of a new Dove family who has taken up residence in their hanging basket of petunias.
According to M, it is not the same family that nested in the planter earlier this summer – “It’s not them, and I don’t think their offspring would be ready yet”
"These guys are young little critters. And about 4 times as skittish. The turkey baster is being applied yet again (for watering the plant), but not up to the point where I can water the entire plant without the bird flying away briefly."
an't wait to see the pictures when they hatch.
