A Pair

After realizing we had another chick on the way, Charlie did some research and found that doves usually lay two eggs at a time. He predicted she wasn't finished.



He was right, of course.

He also informed me that they mate for life, have several broods each season, and the father sits on the eggs all day, and then the mother takes over at night. Sounds fair.

We watch the activity at the nest each morning and evening. And the mama watches us.
