Dove activity from the 12th

While roosting in berry tree baby dove is not far from abandoned robin nest, never used because of heavy robin traffic, mad dash for berries. Robins are territorial and want privacy. There's an onslaught of traffic for berries, no privacy, no territorial power.
Big baby really feels safe in this tree.
Poopy nest now removed. Next bird that opts for fuse box can build a clean nest from scratch.  The little egg was on the ground below nest,  fell out? discarded intentionally?  This might have been a two-baby brood. Egg measures less than 1" across.  I brought it back here to gift to a young neighbor.
Meanwhile the robins, starlings and finches are gorging on berries.
