MOURNING DOVE UPDATE
The runt disappeared last night. I assume that he tried to leave the nest or was pushed out and ended up as breakfast for some of the neighborhood wildlife. However, the other two young doves (8 days old) have flown from the nest and are flying around the backyard. They've been on the fence and then down on the ground foraging in the dirt. Meanwhile, the proud parents sit on the roof of the house overseeing the whole process.
