According to the Internet, doves always lay two eggs and will have up to 5 broods a spring. In warmer climates they will have up to 8!! Oh, did I mention they like to return to the same nest? I don't think I can take having birds that close to the front window all year. Don't worry about Mark disturbing the Mom to get this photo. Shift change takes place at about 6:10 pm and the eggs are left alone for about 10 minutes. We have no idea who takes the night shift, Hilda or Henry, but I kind of like the arrangement. At least one of them gets to party all night!
