Momma bird is in full nesting mode. She let me get pretty close today because she was not going to leave her eggs. I was very slow and careful as to not give her a heart attack. She seems to be hunkered down more than she was at first. She is such a sweet momma!
BTW - can anyone tell if this is a pigeon or a dove? I can't tell!
Hope everyone is having a good week so far!~

I am not good at identifying birds...but we do have mourning doves in my area and they make a coo coo sound...
This on ain't talking! Ha,ha!
Googled them, the spots are a clear indication of a mourning dove as Wunderwoman said!
I'm glad Chef E answered that. I was wondering too! I guess those are what I have as well. You're lucky your nest is visible.
That is so wonderful! I'm so glad she let you get close I love the pictures :).
Very sweet my darlin :)
How lovely, she will keep you busy with all the little doves arriving, looking forward to updates and pictures of little doves... Paula
I can't tell but it's a sweet picture.
Debra, have not seen you around my site that much, guess your busy?
Peep Peep, I am a lonely bird with an empty nest :(
Gorgeous pic. I love nesting birds. Makes everything in life just seem to fall into place somehow.
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad I found your blog.
Happy Weekend,

Awww..she's sweet:) It looks like a dove to me...I'm not an expert!
I left a little something for you at my site. I see that I missed your big award ceremony but hopefully you will enjoy this one as well.
I love that you're able to get such close, good pictures. Keep telling us the birdie story!
