So you might remember in September when I discovered a mama dove in residence in my patio flower pots. Well, a few days ago I saw a twig pile in one pot. I removed it once, twice, three times. I wanted her to build her nest UP in my roof rafter. She didn't take the hint. The fourth day when I went to investigate I saw mama dove sitting serenely in the foliage. And when she was not nesting I took a quick peek and saw a pair of eggs so I guess we'll see twins again soon. And she lets me water the plants around her. She just watches calmly.
Love the Southwest? Love Tucson? Every day on "Tucson Daily Photo" you'll see a new image that might be beautiful, unusual, fun, or maybe even inspirational.

I had to finally give up ~

That's wonderful that she came back to the same spot - or should I say same POT? (:
ReplyDeleteAh, Spring! The dove has chosen your yard as the nursery...the choice of cradle is also entirely up to the dove :) But she thanks you for your thoughtful though misguided intentions and allows you to water the plants around her! Obviously you think she is a duck.
