1717. mourning dove story - part 2

 

they took turns sitting
but momma carried the load
i named her sweetie 🦊❤️

Except for brief intermissions, usually whenever the pair changed responsibilities for sitting on the eggs, they eggs were tended to.  “Sweetie” seemed comfortable with my occasional visits to the balcony to grab something,  Her mate remained skittish. We accepted the fact that when the eggs hatched we would cease all visits to the balcony until the birds fledged. 🦊❤️
