Good News!

The second squab is back and they are all cozied up out there in the bushes like a pair of pom-pons. I can't take a picture because I'm afraid I'll scare them again.
So I will now be the old lady who never leaves her house, imprisoned by two young birds. Mourning doves often use the same nest five times in a row and lay eggs several times a year.
Other moronic facts I learned:
Leonardo da Vinci studied birds to form the basis for his flying machines he called "ornithopters."
Golden-plovers fly nonstop from Hawaii to Alaska and BACK each year.
The American Robin belongs to the genus Turdus.
