(#102) Wonder of Life

It is a wonder these little doves hatched. The parents first put the nest on the hood of the truck. We moved the nest containing one little egg to the porch swing before driving to the grocery store. When I got back home, there was a second egg in the nest. The nest sat on the swing for several days with the parents very attentive to the eggs. We were going to be having company for the week and I knew the little family would not be comfortable with so many visitors. I moved the nest to a little bucket and placed it on a fence block beside the swing. Each day we moved the nest farther away from the front door. Two weeks after the eggs were laid in the nest, we had two little doves hatch. In a couple of weeks these tiny featherless birds will be on their own. We will not be here to see them on their journey so I got a picture of them today.
