Next day, Wednesday 25. This is a mourning dove, and I just found out on Google that it takes about 14 days to hatch their eggs, and then the chicks stay in the next for another two weeks, I guess she’s here for the long haul!

Last night we had thunderstorms and heavy rain all night and she sat there patiently on her eggs. Although I’m not keen on these birds (I don’t care what people say, I still say they are pigeons!) I do have a reluctant admiration for her. So maybe I’ll just enjoy watching all this nature happening on my window sill!
