Baby Doves in the planter outside my patio window








These little guys are getting ready to leave the nest. In the past day or so they have been testing their wings in the wind.

We actually placed this empty wicker basket on the patio in hopes that they would make their nest inside. We had another larger basket on the patio that we had planned to put a plant in hanging there a few years back and every year the doves found their way and nested there. That one kept falling in the high spring winds, so we decided to try this one instead and see what happened. This is the result.

They will probably be gone in the next day or so, but they are fun to have around while they last.
