One baby

I never expected this. Headed out and happened to look up at empty dove nest Except it wasn't empty. One baby. That makes this Brood#3 in same nest.
 

I decided to come back around 1pm., lunch time.The male was strutting and calling. Baby calling back.

The big baby knew there would be a food delivery. It's  hard trying to focus ground level and upstairs. Viewing in nest not easy. I knew this would be difficult.

Parent very aware that I was watching. Actually I was talking to parent. I'm sure we've met before.

Finally to great excitement the food got delivered. This involves much pumping, nodding up and own so baby can reach the seeds.

This in one of the most beautiful scenes to watch, eye to eye, baby/ parent plus photographer.

When feeding was completed the parent looked at me as if to ask, "Did you like that show?" Always. I think the baby may fledge tomorrow.
