Two Book Reflections

Mourning Doves nested and raised two babies in full view of our kitchen window. We have window boxes with lights and greens from Advent that made a good nesting area

Yesterday the young ones left the nest for good. It looks like Mom is scouting for a second nest.

By the way Mom and Dad did a nice job of trading places watching the kids.

No picture of this, but two fledglings with their beaks down the parents open beak is quite a sight.

Nesting, sitting, feeding, flying are all inborn. At least we saw no books or lectures. I think there is some learning by observation.
