This poor little guy flew into my neighbors pool. I got him out with a net and tried to release him. He just fluttered around a bit. We put him in a box and I fed him. The Wildlife Refuge was already closed so will take him there in the morning to recuperate.

Poor guy - thank you for helping him.

He looks to be around six weeks old. Wouldn't eat any formula.

yea you! Arty will be so proud! Is this the rat infested pool???? What were you doing over there??? Although I know the dove was glad you were there!

No, not the Rat Pool.
My neighbor next to me. She screamed and started yelling my name. I just happened to be outside or I wouldn't have heard her.

You're too much - thanks for being there. Let us know how he does. From the photo he looks content to rest. Hopefully by morning you will have a little hellion on your hands.

oh Arty.........look....its a dove! ..as Ruby says CA-MERE!

I wish Art were still here to see this.
He tought me everthing I need to know to care for this little one in the short time I will have him.....THANK YOU ARTY!

Aw, poor baby!! Wait, I need details-- did you run over there screaming, "Call 911!! Call 911!!" while stripping off your clothes, diving into the deepest end, racing over to the baby, gathering him into the net, and giving him CPR while gale force hurricane winds blew overhead???? I mean, come on, if you're going to tell a story....

Very funny, Lori.
The baby will be taken in to the sanctuary in about an hour.
