The 'Dove' story continues...

The doves are still in our yard. Mommy dove has layed her eggs.

Saturday we were in the backyard cutting the grass and Anthony tried to move the hanging plant basket where they are; to another location, the mother dove flew away so Anthony just left the basket where it was. I was devasted with guilt but the 'mommy dove' flew right back to her eggs minutes later. Now, she won't budge and that's fine with us.

We will leave her there to care for her eggs as long as she can put up with us making noise etc. in the yard. She has now covered the eggs up with sticks, I think, to hind them from what she thinks is her 'enemy Anthony'. We BBQ'd yesterday and ate right underneath her on our patio table and she seemed fine. 'Daddy dove' was close by flying in with more sticks.

To be cont'd, I am sure...
