I am so jealous! My doves have obviously been someones target (hunters) they are scared to death of me, but find the dogs not at all bothersome. I cannot even get close enough to them to take a decent picture.
We had 14 in December and even after loosing 4 to hawks, that I have witnessed, we still have 8 coming to the feeders. Great pictures of the doves nest!
Pam's photo essays are always beautiful. Thanks for linking to this wonderful post.
