I saw the little Mourning Dove
circling the tangerine tree,
with twigs tightly held in her beak.
All the signs were pointing
toward nesting time.
A closer look showed strips of palm bark
and tiny feathers......
.....and the beginnings of a sweet nest.
Mourning Doves mate for life, and
I'm thinking these two "love birds"
sitting high up on an electrical wire,
just might be the owners of the nest
in our "lolly popped" tangerine tree.
I love spring, don't you?
Have a beautiful day! Dee Dee
