I thought it was rather late in the season, but mom decided she wanted a baby so there goes our porch light again. Hubby swears there are two babies in this nest, but I have only seen one and this guy looks ready to fledge. Cross your fingers for him. The crows got the last two.
Isn't he a cutie?
UPDATE
Fledgling's first flight. He made it as far as the porch railing. There is another baby in the nest but quite a bit smaller. Hope it makes it. If mom doesn't come take care of it, I'll call the local baby bird rescue to come get it.
UPDATE 7/27/11
OK, HERE THEY BOTH ARE. BOTH BABIES FLEDGED AND ON THE GROUND NOW. MOM STILL COMES TO FEED THEM BUT IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THEY ARE GONE.
I PROMISE, END OF DOVE STORIES!
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
I hope the crows don't get this little guy or gal. How cute! Mom looks proud.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I hope the crows don't get it. Awesome bird and I will keep my fingers crossed for it. I won't cross my eyes because I heard the other day that if you cross your eyes, they may stay like that.:)) You said in a comment on my blog that you are thinking that you may start a journal again, please do. I would love to see your work in it. I promise I will. Take care and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to be able to watch such interesting birds develop. I have been trying to locate the next of my hummingbirds.(2 pair) I am sure they are in my lilac bushes but I keep looking and cannot locate them.
ReplyDeleteLove the birdie stories. Amazing! I saw a short film about how Eagles have to PUSH their babies out of the nest from high on a cliff....something was said like "If you want to soar you can't be afraid to fall."
