New Baby

We have noticed for the last few days that we had a Mourning Dove (Some of you might call it a Turtle Dove) in our bushes in front of the house. We kept thinking that it could not fly because it just seemed to hop around on the sidewalk. But if we would leave the front porch it would fly to the next door neighbor's roof and sit there. Well this morning we found out that she has a young one there in the bushes. I have not seen any kind of nest but we did see the baby on the ground and the mother preening the little one. It is fairly good size so now we are trying to figure out if the little one has a problem and can't fly. I guess we will just have to keep watch and hope that a cat in the neighborhood doesn't find it before it flies away.
