About This Image

Well with being busy and then it raining on Saturday then cold and windy on Sunday, I finally got out today to check up on the dove. Well to my surprise when I got to the nest, there were babies... She must have been hiding them on my other visits. I could not believe how big they were. I think there are just two but only she knows for sure. The one baby was camera shy and had it's head under mom. With not wanting to stress them out I took a few shots then went on my way. I will for sure be checking up on them every day now.

Hi Ann, Thanks so much for your very kind comment.. I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I always get excited when I get a chance to take a photo of birds with there babies, or just birds LOL..

This capture is a winner. The clarity is wonderful even though I'm sure the little birds must have been very busy with their Mom there in the nest. Great textures, too. Very enjoyable and it brings a smile to my face. Great photo, Alan.

Hi Janice, Your very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the big babies LOL.. I found another nest with eggs in it so maybe I can get some little baby shots when they hatch...

Doesn't look like it will be very long, before they leave the nest. What a joy to get to see these babes. Thanks.

Hi Jas, Thanks for the nice comment :-) I was really shocked at how big they were. I'm going to go visit them in about a hour and take more photos before they leave. Things are happening way too fast LOL.. I'm glad you liked my photo.. I will post today's photo soon.

Great capture Alan! Am so glad you managed to get back there and check out the progress and, as you say, they really are quite large and were probably kept hidden when you've visited before! :)
