Nesting Doves



Here are the only pictures we took for the entire month of April.  We had a dove nesting on the shelf on our back patio.  We got pictures of the Dove, her eggs. and the baby birds (about a week after they hatched).  They have both flown away now so it's just and empty nest but it was a very cool thing and Eli loved seeing the birds every day.  I tried to get a picture of the mama on her babies but every time we'd go out after the babies hatched she'd fly away and act injured.  Quite an interesting that the birds do that to draw the predator to them and away from their nest.
