Has anyone any similar experience with Mourning Doves? I am so enjoying hanging out with two fledglings in my garden. They have been hanging out there for a few days now, taking naps in the sun on the warm stones. They seem curious about me and do not spook too easily. Last night, as the sun was setting, one flew up to my patio table and perched, struggled to stay awake, and took a nap for about 10 minutes. I then hear the mother calling, swoop in, and they were gone. Shortly thereafter, the torrential rain came down. I was relieved to think that the babies were safe with their mother.
Today, the mother hung out on the fence looking down at her two babies as they sunned and explored my garden. She seemed curious about me and not threatened as I weeded. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. I realize I am anthropomorphizing. They look so docile and sweet! I am so grateful to have them around and hear their cooing throughout the day. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
