Meet the neighbors....
This momma dove had to scramble to build a new nest out of the late-season snow, she found a ladder on my patio tucked under the over hang and let nature take it's course....

...today I got to watch the babies take their first flights from the ladder to the roof top a few feet away, then onto the swing set across the yard.
Nature ROCKS!
