Every day, I have been checking on my Mama dove. She has been sitting on her eggs faithfully. She will fly away if I get too close, however. I took this picture with my zoom lens. Isn't she pretty?
Today, when she flew away, I decided to get a chair and take a look at the eggs. I expected to see some rather yucky looking eggs, that only a mother could love.
To my surprise, I found two baby birds, (that only a mother could love)! They must have hatched just recently, because I have not heard one peep out of them. You will see that their eyes are still closed.
I really did not expect these eggs to hatch, as I have been watering my flowers. I guess these little guys are some fighters.
My first set of twins are named Aaron and Daron. Shall I name these Sharon and Karen? Maybe Dovey and Lovey...or Hairy and Kerry?
I will keep you posted with the growth of these two little guys...or girls...or maybe one of each.

Congratulations on another set of twins. Sweet little picture.
I love your picture! I'm so happy for the twins! I wondered about the watering, but these are survivors.
Great picture of the baby birds. Congratulations!
