Its the most awesome thing. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that a mourning dove has chosen a pot on our steps/entryway to nest. I was astounded when I first saw it. We just sat there a foot away from one another blinking in silence. Our neighbor who shares the same steps says that the same thing happened last year and they had three hatchlings. For now we are all just careful not to disturb it with all our comings and goings.
