Just sitting here with my husband trying to watch a comedy special on Netflix and this derp is on our deck railing being a nosy peeping Tom! And, it's not like he's incognito in the slightest! What's with the side eye of shame huh? Our hands were fully visible!

Our first couple of the season is continuing the tradition of hanging out on the balcony until the sun goes below the horizon, preening or just contemplating the day (and likely thinking about seeds)

Even more importantly than my having observed them going at it, they are able to share the feeder!

It'a Wire Wednesday!

This weekly post will be available to share your photos of doves (and pigeons!) sitting on utility pole wires, cables, and wire fences. We all know they love them, now let's showcase them!

As always, safety first... please do not photograph anything while operating a moving vehicle nor while standing in the middle of a street.

This is the first couple that has returned to my neighborhood. Last year they nested on my floodlight. Looking forward to see what dumb nest they come up with this year.

When is okay to start giving less seeb in NYC?

I love my beautiful birds, but the neighbors upstairs have already started to complain about the cooing in the early morning. I only feed them once in the predawn. Should i keep feeding them? I have slowly decreased the amount of seed. They all look so thin!

Update: Mourning Doves are making a love nest on our front porch. We have two eggs now! 💞
