Look at the precious little baby Mourning Dove. I think there is only one. The mother and father let me get within 12" of their nest to take this photo. See the little one?
It's a dark, cloudy and rainy day here in Oklahoma. The perfect day to sew and sew and sew!!
Enjoy!

Sooo cute! My dove nest is on my closed martin house, so I will have to use my zoom lens. Very sweet picture!
ReplyDeleteAww - so cute. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDark and raining here also, and some bad weather on its way. :(
oh my goodness what a coup !! To be able to get so close and get a great photo...adorable!!:)
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of doves. We have several around our home and my husband raises Ring Necked doves. Loved your feature over at Junkchiccottage. You are very talented. I'm a new follower. Hope you'll visit when you can.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture! The doves that build in our spruce tree always make such pitifully built nests. A few little sticks put together so loosely that you can see the sky through them. I worried about those eggs and then the baby doves every time a storm came through last spring. The eggs and babies survived all of the storms last year. They didn't nest there this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo. They were so trusting to let you get so close.

Judy, This is a very good photo. I love birds. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Judy...I am so happy to meet you! Thank you for coming by and leaving your sweet comment so I could find your beautiful blog :)))
ReplyDeleteI love your new family of doves. I love doves and we have several that hang out here, but I have yet to be lucky enough to see their babies.
What a sweet photo! Great shot and it is awesome that mama dove let you get so close, too!
ReplyDeleteJudy...these are so sweet! I have them nesting "on" my house all the time...window ledges, hanging plants, you name it. They do make flimsy nests. They sit on their eggs a long time...like 6 weeks and then the babies fly away after about two weeks. We've always had 2 babies. And the mommy and daddy mate for life! Isn't that cool!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Don't you love them? They are such a sweet, peaceful bird. I hope we get babies again this year, too- I just adore them. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGood job getting the baby's first photo. Wish we could get some of that rain her in TX.
