Here are the pigeon eggs from the nest in yesterday's photo. As I took this shot, the mama (or father) pigeon wasn't too far away, resting on one of our neighbor's roof. This is my first time being able to get so close to a bird's nest. Hope I can photograph them after they hatch.
@taffy - Thanks much Taffy! Black and white sure has a beautiful way of highlighting textures.
@lynnb - Thank you Lynn! I had to set the black and white just right to keep the eggs glowing because that's what made this shot really appealing to me.
@mchartwig - Thank you for the nice comment Celia!
@kimshots - Thanks very much Kim! Although I'm starting to think that it's the father who keeps flying away as I get closer. But definitely hope to get more shots!
@workinprogress2 - Thank you so much Ann! I've seen both the mama and the father and neither seem to be aggressive. One is more skittish than the other and will fly away as we get close whereas the other (who I'm guessing is the mama) won't budge. I guess they're both happy to be able to use our balcony. haha.
@roddy - Thank so much Suze! They hatch in a few weeks, around June 1st, so hoping to get some shots.
@bkbinthecity - Thank a lot bkb! I'm definitely keeping my eyes on them!
