It's a BOY!

There is a sego palm that grows right up against my bedroom window. Doves nest there every year. Kate and I open the window every morning and have a front row seat to what's happening in the nest... this morning, the babies left the nest. I can only see one of them right now, the backyard is off limits until they can fly.

Here we are, hanging out on the patio. I shot these from my living room with a long lens. This baby is just like a human.. he walks a bit, takes a nap, looks for his parents..tries to get back under his parents, eats..then takes a nap. They are very exciting to watch. I am a proud parent.

Not so exciting to watch.....

The birds are so cute. What fun to be able to watch them close up.

Heyyy no one so far has given credit to Ichoro the Super Dog!!! Don't let him fool you, he puts on the lazy c'est la vie act during the day, but at night, he's out fighting crime! Heee-ya!

LOL. I'm so lucky I put my drink down two seconds before I came to your blog, Julie, or else there would have been some snort-gross-choke action. ha!

This is one of my favorite things, ever, to do.
Actually, these are two things that are favorites to do.


Actually, I like lying around napping, too!

Okay. everything on here is what I like to do. (i won't talk about drinking FROM the hose, though)

One year I had some visitors nest in a hanging flower pot on the patio. Yes, they hatched learned to fly and the cats (which I had at that time) had a wonderful show to watch all day. It is just so fun watching and sometimes hard to explain the excitement to those who have never had the opportunity to do so. Happy Thursday.

What a sweet, gentle family! You are so lucky to be able to see them up close.
