Doves On light Outside Door
by Susan Gismondi
(Stratford, CT)
Two Doves began making a nest over a month ago on my light outside my front door.
I went away for 5 days and when I returned found no one sitting on the nest. I got a step ladder and looked into the nest and found 2 nice eggs.
No bird was sitting for maybe 3-4 days and some of these nights were pretty chilly. Then suddenly a bird was sitting and has been there day and night for the last 3 weeks.
Will the Doves know when to leave if the eggs are not going to hatch? And what happens to the eggs if they don't hatch and the birds leave?
And will they return to this nest? Thanks for any info.
