And speaking of Limo Man.....
Limo Man got to be a part of the motorcade to take former President Bill Clinton down to Dana Point for a talk on Earth Day this last week. He got to meet the secret service agents and was lucky to have photo op with the former president. This is actually the second time Limo Man has met Clinton and got to have his picture taken with him. What a lucky guy!
Thursday Evening
Limo Man took this shot. He was able to get closer than me and took a great shot of the baby and Mom.
Limo Man and I were both a little sad on Thursday evening when we got home from work and the doves were gone. While sitting on the couch we heard doves cooing outside and took a look. We saw one of the doves on the roof of the place next door to us. Then we looked up and there sitting right up from our front door was the Mom and one of the babies. The baby's tail is on the left of the slat and Mom's is on the right.

Where are the babies???? (Thursday 4/23/09)
Thursday morning I walked outside to see how the babies were doing and they were gone! The nest was empty so I decided I'd take a picture of the pot that they made their nest in.
Tuesday Update (4/21/09)
The babies are getting big enough that Dad will leave them by themselves during the shift change in the evening. Limo Man got up right on the nest and took this picture.

Feeding Time!!!!
The babies get fed with regurgitated food from inside Dad's beak. They start out low in the nest and move up to feed.
It's kind of like watching a dance the way they move up and down.

The babies are getting big!
We heard a fluttering and figured that Dad had left the nest. I think he just wanted to give the kids some sun and fresh air.
You can see the little grey fluff balls better in this picture. These babies are already 8 days old and they usually leave the nest in 12-14 days.

Shift Change
Dad is on the nest and Mom just showed up for a shift change. Mom has been showing up just before 6pm everyday for the night shift. It was pretty cool to see them both on the planter together. It was even more cool for them to let me get so close to take this picture.
