This is one of the two doves starting a family in my next door neighbour’s wall-planter. They’re unbelievably tolerant of people coming and going, and even let me grab this picture from just a couple feet away.
They weren’t quite as impressed when I brought Latte (my cat) out to show them, but fortunately they didn’t get too excited and Latte constricted her activities to watching them.
The last couple days I come out my front door, there are doves on my porch – so I think it’s them teasing Latte now. We normally get a finch nest in our Maple tree out front so I’ll have to wait for them and get the Nikon out when they show up. The one with the telephoto lens so I’m not disturbing them
