Astonishing

Everyone is seeing wonderful birds, here the male and female redstarts. It's thrilling.
But for now my heart is with the dove family. Mama in the nest with kids during the day.
At about 5pm they begin to get antsy. Time for food???
But Mom doesn't do the evening feed. Papa arrives. Change of guard. Sometimes the switch takes one second.
Papa has the evening feed.
The feeding takes about ten minutes. Afterwards it's time for a nap.
