Mourning Dove on its nest in the front entryway, 4/12/12.
Today is the first day of incubation on this newly built clay pot nest.
I'm not sure if these are the same doves that had the prior nest across the entryway, which they faithfully incubated for three weeks last month to no avail -- the eggs were infertile, and they finally gave up.

But hope springs eternal, and we had great fun watching several broods of dove babies in this nest location two summers ago, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.
Good luck, Mr & Ms Dove -- may your efforts be fruitful.
Meanwhile, enjoy your clay pot with a view.
