The second nesting

World photography day. Mourning Doves nest for the second time in as many months inside my hanging flower basket. Today the second set of nestlings hatched. Parents are Ozzie & Harriet. This 2nd set I call Pete & RePete..The amazing part is they have no problem with me getting so close. I barely had to zoom.

It is certainly unusual that they let you approach so close. They are used to you, and they must love you;-))

Gracie replied to Christa1004:

Thanks. They were slightly skittish only the first hatch. But that passed quickly. I actually talk softly to them. No sudden moves. They even let me continue to water my plant so it doesn’t die..

Oh they are so cute, Gracie. I'm so glad they're used to you, so you can take these glorious pictures of them. It's funny seeing young birds where they look like hedgehogs with the stalks for feathers!!!
