Dave and Mike have been working for several days on a construction project at Molly and George’s place.

While there, they had to work around a mourning dove and the nest she had built on top of a Rubbermade cabinet. On day one mother dove was in the area where they were hammering, sawing and generally making a racket. She was sitting on the nest waiting for the eggs to hatch. On day two they hatched and then mother and father dove alternated on the nest and with the feeding. The guys moved the cabinet into the middle of the carport and the doves just carried on with their business.

There are several canvas sacks with lawn chairs in them up there and she is wedged between them.

From above – the two chicks are alone for a few minutes and I am able to sneak a picture – they aren’t making a sound!
