The Twins are Here!

I missed the whole "hatching of the eggs". What a sweet and cozy family. I didn't know that doves liked to snuggle with their babies. When we've had nests before, they were robins and featherless babies. They even kicked them out of the nest before they should have. This is so much better!
I finally pulled out a step ladder to get a good look at the eggs in the nest and this is what I found.

OK, I believe it is a Mourning Dove. The kids and I did a search of birds in Colorado and we went nearly to the end of possibilities before we found "our bird". There is a "couple". The daddy sits on the nest all day from about 8:30 AM til 4:30 PM and then "Mama" takes over for the afternoon and evening. If I catch them off the nest I will try to take a picture. There should be 2 white eggs.
