Our dove family

 The mama & daddy dove that visit our middle pillar on the back patio every year & then leave without staying finally picked a different pillar and stayed! The pictures are of the mama & babies. Daddy stays nearby & babysits when mama goes off. We watched that happen while we were in the pool so I assume he does that regularly. I got these pictures a few days before the babies were ready to fly the coop. We also watched the whole family hang out on our back fence & the neighbor's trampoline. Now they're pretty much gone. But now either another mama or the same one is back sitting on the nest. Yay!
