Mourning Dove Update

Bad news...yesterday I found the two eggs on the ground and the doves were no where to be found. Ben placed them back in the nest (one was starting to crack) to see if they would survive...checked this morning and they are back on the ground...not sure what happened...sad.... : (
We do have baby sparrows in the box though...I believe they are ready to leave the nest. They are quite noisy now. It seems those are about the only kind of birds that brood in plentiful numbers around here - they can be quite pesty! Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open...it's only the beginning of summer and hopefully there will be many more birds to nest.
