Five years ago a pair of mourning doves built a nest outside the window of my home office. I vaguely recalled that the birds took turn hatching the eggs. About a week ago, another pair built a nest but I didn’t happen to see more than one bird at a time. This morning I recorded the birds switching hatch duty. The smaller one is probably the female dove, which, through a simple contest with my Facebook friends, is named Rose. The male bird has no name yet. I hope the chicks will meet a better fate than those from five years ago...
