We gots babies


We gots babies. This Spring a morning dove had decided to nest on top of my garage door opener motor. I had tried to help her understand while she was building, that this was a bad idea. It's an older opener and the chain and main gear are also on top. Push the garage door button, and you have a pi**ed off morning dove and scrambled eggs.

Well the eggs have hatched, aand are doing the looking cute and stupid nest thing right now. Momma is a bit protective which is fine. She had come and tapped on the basement window yeaterday, which was kinda weird. Momma was named Babe, as we would always say..."It's OK Babes" when entering the garage. I don't know if these birds have more than one litter,....what do you call bird litters?, a year, but when the babies fly, the nest is gone.

It is finally sunny here, and lloks to be a great day!
