Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!

mommy dove with her babies

About two weeks ago this mama dove was sitting on two tiny, bright white eggs. Two days ago they hatched. It’s so sweet to see this bird care for her young babies. She is a very brave mama, too. Her nest is barely 3 feet off the ground in a palm tree that’s just outside the front door.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend, y’all!

P.S. just discovered Tilt Shift Maker, which is a really cool website that makes all of your big landscape photos look like they’re in miniature. It’s an awesome way to waste time. I mention this, because I applied the filter to the photos above. You can’t really tell, but it was fun to do.

  3. Oh, and Happy Mother’s Day!

  4. It must be the year for Mourning Doves, since we have one nesting on our balcony (no babies yet!) and my friend has one on her porch.

    I hope you and your birds have a Happy Mother’s Day!
