Well, a few days ago I noticed a mourning dove that kept flying out of a certain small bush. I finally found the nest: a tiny rather sloppy thing. As is characteristic of "mourners" the dove laid two tiny eggs in the nest.
On Wednesday evening I saw what appeared to be a beak poking out of one of the eggs. Yesterday, I found one egg and one squab!
Today there appeared to be two squabs (I love that word) beneath the mother dove.
The mother dove has the simple name of "Dovey". (Mom named her) the first chick has the name of "Peregrine" (I named him). The second chick has yet to be named (but I have an idea.)
By the way, I have pictures, but I am going to continue to take them every day or two and post the photos all at once.
