When I last saw the pair of mourning doves in my window in NY, they were switching off nesting duties. However, this pic from Toby's friend shows that the hatch as occurred. Now the parents are switching off feeding duties. And, as you can see from the pooping, the two chicks are being well fed. Just a few days later Debby took pictures (below) that showed how much the chicks had grown. Oddly, Hannah discovered a pair of mourning doves nesting in my porch in Block Island as well. (I can't get a good picture of the nest because it's too dark under the eaves.) So if I turn up a pair in Missouri, it's be a grand slam. Deep mourning.
