For those of you who would like to look at a pair of nesting mourning doves on a reader's blog, take a peek at Pam Shack's wonderful photo essay.

Let me just say that I love Pam Spaulding of Pam's House Blend and Pandagon.
My friend, neighbor and uber-blogger Pam Spaulding, has an article about her in today's New & Observer.

I am so jealous! My doves have obviously been someones target (hunters) they are scared to death of me, but find the dogs not at all bothersome. I cannot even get close enough to them to take a decent picture.
We had 14 in December and even after loosing 4 to hawks, that I have witnessed, we still have 8 coming to the feeders. Great pictures of the doves nest!
