Shelley, I feel it's my duty to tell you that I think the Mourning Doves are planning a takeover of the backyard. They've had at least 6 sets of babies this summer and their army grows strong....
Plus I'm not getting the peanuts I used to off your bird feeders...
This is Bob and Mary. They've been plotting in the gutters of your house...
Speaking of gutters....check out this new young addition to the army!
That chipmunk needs to mind his own business! Or else....

Oh but they are prolific nesters, aren't they? Very cute post! :c)
I almost felt sorry for the squirrel. But then I came to my sences.
Chipmunk better watch out or Napoleon is going to gather the army and drive him out!!
Very cute!
Very cute! I just love chipmunks! Doves will take over, but you gotta love that they clean the floor!
Drum roll, please....Delightful post.
I have a lot of doves but they don't seem to be taking over anything. Chipmunks gather the sunflower seeds during the day and the doves clean up the leftovers at the end of the day.
Good on all accounts! Cheers, Klaus
Funny funny!
Very cute "Chippy"! I don't care what anyone says I love chipmunks (my mother-in-law hates them)!
Jayne - I'm up to my eyeballs in dove babies!
Jessica - you must mean my cute little chipmunk :-)
Lynne - Napoleon does look tough!
Hannibal - My doves have been knocking the feed off the feeders - but you're right in at least they eat it up.
Birdlady - thank you! Glad you thought so!
Richard - sending doves your way!
KJ - thanks a lot!
Wendy - I like the chips too!
Birdgirl - you might be the only one who thinks I'm funny- ha,ha!
poor mr. chipmunk--can't steal as he ususally does probably!
This one really made me laugh and gave me a whole new outlook on the hoardes of Mourning Doves in my yard. In fact, I'm on my way out to name them right now. Thanks for such a delightful post!
hahahahahahahahah
hahaha
love it!!!
great photos too.
I am utterly delighted by your story and the naming of the Doves and the squirrel's take on all of it. You gave them 'perfect' names. Napoleon!! Such a cute post!
Hi, I happened upon your blog and think it's lovely. You have quite a little family of birds. I just love your little story.
