Hi Janice, Thanks very much.. I'm sure the mom and dad were keeping a eye on me. I take some quick shots then leave...

So cute. Its sleeping. Sometimes the parents are sort of close by probably-hopefully.

Hi Chriss, Thanks very much for your nice comment... It's easy to look into the nests around here, the cactus are only around four feet tall. Hey I found the nest again yesterday and the other one had hatched. Happy Birthday!! They were sleeping in a ball so no way to get a nice shot. I'm going to give them a couple days and go check up on them again.

Hi Ann, Vance, and Beverly.. I'm glad you enjoyed my photo. Thank you all very much for your nice comments. The first time I saw a baby dove was last year Ann, they sure start out looking pretty ugly LOL. I don't think there abandoned Vance, Mom must have been out getting some groceries. I will be checking up on them today, if I can find that cactus again :)
