Friday Mourning Dove Blogging

A mourning dove couple has taken up residence on our deck and built (not much of a) nest in one of my hanging baskets. One egg is inside and they have been sitting on the egg for a little over a week. We have found out that it takes about 14 days for the eggs to incubate and then another 14 or so days for the babies to grow up and fly away.




We're looking forward to the hatching of our first grand-bird!
