We've Got Chicks!



Both eggs have now hatched from the Wood Dove (also called a Ground Dove) that is nesting on the windowsill of our bathroom window - photos are taken through the insect mesh, so not the best.



The dove had laid two eggs 24 hours apart, and I saw one hatchling five days ago and it was obviously very new. I did not see the second chick until yesterday, so not sure when it hatched. Momma bird is getting more comfortable with my occasional peeping, and I managed to get the photo of the two chicks yesterday when I noticed that she was out of the nest - ran for the camera to take advantage of the opportunity. So I hope to be able to get more progress photos over the coming weeks to share with you all.
