Hi all,
While out birding this afternoon I walked upon a Mourning Dove coming out
of a tree. I stepped back and watched. The dove gathered nesting material
off the ground and flew into a pine tree. It would drop into a nest under
construction. Sometimes the dove would stay in the nest for a short time
after bringing something in to do a little work, and moving around to round
the nest out. It was only one bird doing all the work. After about 15
minutes the bird stopped, perched near the nest and took a break. It was a
cold morning with temps around 30 to start. Full sun, but the winds were
strong making it feel like winter was still here.
Images of the event are at the link below if you care to view them:

Thanks and good birding,
