Our Dove has been sitting on two eggs and today was the first chance to photograph them.

Mother Dove was protecting her babies and one can just see them under her with there new feathers just starting to grow.

They are about a week old.

She's so sweet-looking...even with her crazy bird eyes! I have 3 birds so I adore them. So nice you can document their development, that's one of the reasons I love this personal website! Thanks for sharing. :)

Gorgeous shot Shez! It's funny how those fuzzy little balls will grow into beautiful birds like their mum!

This is really sweet Shez! I like this shot best of the 3 you have posted today.
We now have 6 new chickens running around in our yard. Little ones are just too cute. We live in a neighborhood with many people from Mexico, and having chickens seems to be just a part of their culture. They come to my yard to eat the left over parrot feed with the squirrels, and wild birds that come daily.
