cture on there of the mourning doves chicks which hatched a week ago. It has been very entertaining to watch them everyday. Some days are more difficult than others, because for the first little while, mama and papa were covering them a little too well for me to see. Yesterday, however, I opened my blinds in the morning to see that they were sitting in the nest alone. And today, it appears that at least one of them has made its first attempt to fly, as it was sitting on the ground this morning when I first awoke, but was back in the nest about half an hour later.They have grown really fast, and are supposed to fully fledge by next week. I am glad, because when they first hatched, they were slightly scary looking things. Even now their beaks seem a little too big for their bodies. That, and they are pooping EVERYWHERE.
