We built a custom made arbor on our side yard, that is covered with Clematis and morning glory. As I approached the arbor I could see a bunch of something near the window. Check it out!

How cool, DOVES....
How lucky you are, the bird of peace makes home...
I envy you

We have a huge flock residing in our trees. This is the first in the arbor. She doesnt have much protection over her head there for her babies. Should I do something? She's so sweet. I can stand right under her and talk to her, she just looks at me and stays put.

I notice when it rains the mothers do protect the little ones real well... here we had a mother duck and she was sitting under the sprinkler and all I could see was little touchies out the sides..... lololo

Best to let things be, she will cover the babies with herself if needed.
Dang girl.....That is just so cool.....

Im so use to them being here but I do feel blessed to have them. I have more pics for ya Arty. They have tried to make some wacky nest here. The porch lamp was the most interesting. I kept knocking it down because it wasnt stable there. They finally moved on but they sure put up a fight. Ill post a new thread with my dove nest!

that is so precious they make the most lovely sounds, too. my husband and i have a pair that visits our window from time to time.

Would it be okay to keep your photos in my files for future use?

Very cool Leigh! I have a lot of doves feeding off of the bird seed that I knock out of the bird feeder daily, but nobody sets up camp.

I have so many pics Arty, you can take whatever you want!! Im about to load a whole bunch here, so get ready!!
