'Nesting'

Day 15
This beautiful mourning dove built a nest in
our pine tree earlier this spring, but the nest
was destroyed by a wind storm. I was so
afraid they would never come back, but weeks
later she and her mate were rebuilding the
nest in the same place.
I have been very careful not to disturb her, but
was lucky enough to get a photograph of her
on the nest. She has since hatched two adorable,
fluffy fledglings.

It's amazing the places these mother birds choose to lay their eggs. I had a spring wreath on my front door and a robin built her nest in it. I also got a photo of her sitting there in that wreath.
A Very charming painting...doves build the flimsiest nests!
Claire, this is a beautiful painting. You captured the softness of the tree and the dove is excellent.
I agree, this painting feels so soft. Gentle...
You have painting a nice soft "feeling" of this gentle bird. Love the little dove.
Just love it Claire! I still have to paint my mom and babies! You did a great job. She is checking you out!
