MOURNING DOVES - MOTHER AND BABIES (04/26/2010)

(Click on photos to enlarge.)
Many months ago, this sweet pair of Mourning Doves
took up residence in my orchid house.
I guess they liked it so much, they decided to start a family here!
She didn't even bother to make a nest -
she just laid her 2 eggs in an orchid pot
I guess this is a face only a mother could love!
She rarely leaves her "nest", but when she did last night,
I took the opportunity to take a pic of the 2 little brats!
I just hope Taco the cat doesn't discover them!
