Babies! (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Every year there's mourning doves that nest in our planter that hangs on the backyard deck's railing. This morning I was able to get a couple quick pictures of the babies during the morning shift change :)

Here's one parent looking cute and keeping their babies safe.

That is a shockingly good nest for a dove.

HOOOW CUUUUUTE! Oh my goodness, I love these pictures. They're so precious! This put a badly-needed bright spot in my awful day -- thank you for sharing these with us! :)
