Cassie-b: The Doves have returned

May 02, 2006

I just love spring.

My friend M from work just sent me a picture of the dove nesting in his hanging basketful of pansies. There are the requisite 2 eggs and two parents.

This is the 3rd family of doves they’ve hosted two families last year and so far, one this year.

We have a lot of doves in our yard,
but have never been fortunate enough to see their nests.

Another good picture.

And here we are on May 3 and I still haven't seen your monthly calendar of events. [*drumming fingers*] Hmmm...

I remember last years doves....they are cute.

We been feeding ours since last year as well. They don't leave for the winter and they are so cute.

I am looking foward to more pictures.

Being the owner of two birds I find them fascinating. What a great picture!

Now how cute is that! We have a lot of them too but no nest!

Don't you just love Spring? We have two pairs of doves that live among our trees. I think they enjoy watching us as much as we enjoy watching them!

We have a family of doves that nests in the tree right outside our picture window.

I'm passing on a meme over at my blog and I would really enjoy it if you'd give it a try.

So serene. It's wonderful that they feel safe in that little spot where they've born so many babies.

Doves are great. We used to have a pair who lived with us each spring. The same ones too.
