We had some crazy visitors this week. A mourning dove couple were trying (rather unsuccessfully) to build a nest in the windowsill above our front door. We had seen these birds flying around the porch off and on all week. I was afraid they would make a nest too close to the front door and then attack the kids all spring as they tried to go out side. We were shocked on Thursday when Noah and I noticed a strange creature peeking in on us through the window above the front door. The first picture is one of the birds watching us as we watched him. The next picture is their nest debris where it kept falling as it would slide off the sloping sill. Then a couple pictures of the doves and their futile attempts to create a nest. Finally on Saturday they gave up and headed to the tree around the side of the house. Now I can hear their calls from my bed every morning. How pretty!
