She's Baaaaccckkk

I looked out the front window today and saw mama dove coming in for a landing on my hanging geranium basket. Looks like my front porch has once again been selected to be mama dove's breeding ground. I haven't checked to see if there's an egg (or more) in the nest, but it sure looks like another 7 weeks of ducking and preparing to have the crap scared out of me when I go in or out the door and forget she's there.

She’s so pretty!

That’s so cool you have a nest right in front of your doorstep. Enjoy watching them growing up.

@koalagardens Not sure I want it to work again! (kidding) It's a gift to be chosen as the location to bring a new life into the world I suppose, but on the other hand my geranium has probably received its last watering for a couple of months!

@pcoulson Thanks, Peter. I hope so. She was somewhat defensive last year, but maybe I can win her trust based on our experience. ;-)

@farmreporter Thanks, Wendy. I guess you could say I have a "bird's eye view!" Sorry.

[Ron]

@pdulis Ha ha, they do that well. Thanks, Peter.

@louannwarren Thanks, Lou Ann. I've always liked their markings too.

It’s a sign of good luck that you’ve been selected! Lots of fun ahead.

Just have to keep the snakes, cats(?) etc away

@redy4et Thanks, Elizabeth, I'm going to need all the luck I can get. Hope this helps!

@terryliv Cats, no problem. Snakes....umm, nothing here like those that seems to have chosen you as a choice of residence.
