Seen In the Most Unlikely Spot

As I was sitting on the porch at my aunt and uncle's house I looked on the shelf in the corner and there was a Mourning Dove sitting on her nest. She seemed unbothered by the activity of the people and dog that were constantly going in and out. When she left we noticed two little babies in the nest.
She obviously like to be surrounded by nice ornaments in her little home.

She looks like part of the decorations! Well spotted and captured.

Nice closeup of the patient parent. They don’t seem to mind human activity at all. There is a pair that was trying to build a nest on our outdoor ceiling fan. They didn’t seem phased by anything we did. So we turned on the fan BEFORE they got the next built and that kep them away.

Obviously no cats in this household! Mind you, she could be an ornament!

@wakelys I think they provided her with a small sense of security
@ludwigsdiana I thought so too Diana. In fact someone had to point her out to me.
@louannwarren Isn't it?
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I am so glad you like it and am happy to share
@joansmor thanks joan this was in your part of the country
@shutterbug49 she did seem to tolerate out presence very well. A ceiling fan nest could be very dangerous for them! You were smart to run the fan
@Dawn I am so happy you like it Dawn thanks
@phil_howcroft thanks Phil I am glad you like it
@maggiemae definitely not and I thought so too until she flew off for a while

I like it. Not much of a nest is it. I'm glad the dove wasn't too spooked to allow you to photograph it.

@randystreat she was perfectly content to sit there, while we spent a lot of time on the porch, talking and eating.

How sweet! She must believe she's in a perfectly safe spot. So unexpected, but very observant of you! fav!

@olivetreeann thanks for the FAV. I feel I would never have seen it. I actually thought it was one of the decorations until someone else pointed it out to me.

So beautifully composed… both the dove and the photo!

@marilyn thank you so much. It surprised me how content she seem to be to just sit there through all the chaos on the porch.
