Julie's Web Journal: Round Robin Challenge

Round Robin Challenge - Nature

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Wednesday, March 21, 2007

This week's Round Robin challenge is is Nature and was suggested by Gina of Gina's Space.

I had planned to go through my archive of pictures until I found a bit of nature in my backyard:

High Tech Dove Hosted on Zooomr

This dove has built a nest on top of the FiOS box on the side of our house. (FiOS is a fiber-optic broadband Internet, phone and TV service. Use the search box on the main journal page if you want to read more.)

And yes, there are eggs!

Dove Nest Hosted on Zooomr

No, I took care not to touch the nest or the eggs, though I did worry about the wind gusts. I'll be keeping an eye on the nest and perhaps I'll get lucky enough to get a shot of the hatchlings.

Look! She was back on the nest the next morning!

Check out the other Robins! Linking list:

Y'know, I see doves all the time, but never on a nest for some reason. And I don't think I've ever seen eggs in a nest,much less photographed them. What a find! Back to eating worms now....

No worries darlin... Blogger burps once in a while. I have had a bit of trouble with comments as well. Your entry is so pretty. I would love to come across a bird's nest. I used to have a pair of California Songbirds that nested just above my balcony. I was amazing to watch. :) Lovely entry Julie!

Those are wonderful photos. I haven't seen any bird nests around my place but I think I need to keep my eyes open more. (I did start leaving my garage door shut so the starlings wouldn't nest in it this year.) Great job!
