Jan, Robert has both Mourning Doves and Mockingbirds where he lives. LOTS of both. It was hard for me to tell from the picture he sent which it was. It seemed like the long tail made it look like a Mockingbird. I haven't ever seen the mom off the nest. I call Mourning Doves "wide bodies" because they look like the wide body jets that we had years ago. This bird is getting friendly with Robert. He said he gives her bread every day. And the daddy bird comes and feeds her.
Do you know how long it takes the eggs to hatch?

If you watch them right to the end the habbits of it are incredible. I have a few pics online that I took of them. Each day I would pull my ladder out and sit there taking pics of them. They got to know me. The very last day the babies were running around on the pourch and running across my legs. They grew up with me watching them hatch to being literally pushed from the nest. You can see a few of the pics at this web link.. http://picasaweb.google.com/Teddieandlace/DovesNestedInAHangingFlowerBasketOutsideMyKitchenWindow# If you take the time to watch you can't help but enjoy them. I only wish the camera I was using then was as good as what I have now.
