A grey dove is using our dining room window sill as a nesting place for her two eggs. It is right behind the crepe myrtle in the upper garden and really a lovely place to have to sit for hours keeping her chicks warm; it has a beautiful view of the yard. The eggs finally hatched and we have two fluffy grey baby birds now. They wait patiently while the momma bird goes off and feasts on our fig tree (ahem) and returns to feed them (at the same time!! It was crazy to watch two baby beaks in the momma bird's beak at the same time!). I hope that we can watch them learn to fly... they can then eventually leave our yard and our figs. ;)
