I went to check on the baby mallards and was sad to see they were down to five. Originally there were seven. Hoping these little guys make it..jpg)
Speaking of babies - can you believe THIS?!
Mrs. Mourning Dove is having more babies! I think this is the 5th or 6th brood - I've lost count. (Unless some other dove is using her old nest.) I just want to ask her "Seriously? No, really - seriously more babies?"

Wish there were a way to protect those little mallards. That is one prolific dove!
While sad - it's how it goes, food for a hawk or raccoon - a circle that has been going on for eons...
And a pretty persistent Dove! :)

Thanks for the visit,

I love the look that Momma Dove is giving you... "Oh no, she's caught me again!".
Mourning Doves don't know the conception of birth control - ha!
I so love all your photographs! incidentally, I also love your signature at the end. How's it done, with GIMP?
Birdlady - Wish I could protect them too!
KJ - I agree - circle of life - but I have a soft spot for babies. I wish the hawks & racoons would stick to fish.
Texas - thanks!
Jessica - Exactly - she does look guilty!
Bobbi - I have a gang of them in my yard now!
Hillgrandmom - my blog designer put that in my template so not sure. I'm not so design savy!
Birdgirl - that is the PERFECT name! She has now been aptly named "Fertile Myrtle!"
wow how cute is that?!?!
That is how I feel about the Eastern Bluebirds in my yard. And I never thought I would ever think there were enough. But sometimes, enough is enough!!!!
