Birdies

I did some tree trimming a few weeks back, which revealed, but did not disturb, a birds nest. We had seen two broken, empty white egg shells shortly before that, but had seen no signs of the babies. From the couch, where I now blog, I have an unobstructed view of the nest out my front door. Last week, I noticed two tiny bird heads poking up, and I have been watching them as they have grown very quickly. I've taken a bunch of pictures of this little dove family, but most of the images were poor. At least in the shot below, you can see the mom and the head of one of the babies. By now, they are so big that their heads are almost as big as the mom's. They are not flying yet, but it has been fun to watch so far. I think Sydney has been watching them too, from the front window, a perfect viewing spot for an indoor cat.

Peace,
