Nesting mourning dove

The mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) nesting in our hanging planter is remarkably laid back around people, incubating her nest while eight-year-old Laurel played outside and only retreating to the tree off our patio (we live on the second floor so it's technically a balcony, but it's quite large) when our house cat noticed her and sat below the planter meowing piteously. (We took him back inside and he will not have outdoor time until the birds are done using our planter.)
