Between the weather, Obama in the White House, the Cardinals and the Steelers in the Super Bowl, there is prolly no better time that the Stars are in alignement…. so here I am shoveling shit and picking rocks.

Here’s a pic of the baby doves above the patio opening.
They were born Sat late night or early Sunday AM…. the one closest to the camera actually fell off the shelf… 6 and a half feet to the concrete slab…covered only by thin outdoor carpet…on his first day of life out of the shell. I was out there when it happened…saw it out of the corner of my eye…. he landed on his feet and may have flapped a bit on the way down. Seemed ok… picked him up and put him back on the shelf within seconds of falling. Two days later, appears no worse for the wear.

Their second nest in this location. We believe it’s their 4th nest of the year, 3rd baby.
