SUMMERTIME BABY




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.
