Father Dove Abandon Baby Doves

by Christine
(San Jose, CA )

Hi, The mourning dove nest is above my porch.
This morning daddy dove got spooked by my husband shaking a table cloth!

Two baby doves have been alone all day. Will mommy dove return to the nest this evening?

Oh good news! as I am preparing this email, mommy dove (I think) the time is 7:14 pm is picking up dinner local bird feeder. ( my back yard). Mommy or Daddy is still sitting on top of the fence and has not returned to the nest.

One morning both dove parents deserted the baby doves, and I was beside myself. And furious with my husband, as he told me that they left because I was making too much noise raking the yard! Not so - as the parents did return, and babies left in flight soon after. I thought the babies would be around longer - but evidently they can take off pretty quickly. Now when I see the doves in the yard, I feel like they are watching us!
