I had a report of a nest above a light fixture outside of a friends house a=
t Garden Lots.  They told me that it was of a mourning dove and that two yo=
ung were present.  I suspected that it probably was a rock pigeon=2C as to =
this point I'd only ever seen or come across morning dove nests in evergree=
n or thick deciduous trees.  Well my friends were correct.  I visited the s=
ite on the evening of July 7 and watched the second juvenile dove fledge th=
e nest.  This was a second nesting with two young fledged prior this year. =
 The initial nest was initiated in April.  Two young fledged and a new nest=
 was initiated and this one produced two young.  Right away the adult is ag=
ain back on the nest=2C so there is a potential of a third nest being initi=
ated.  All very interesting.
=20
Also=2C other nests occurred in the same yard.  There is a ceramic birdhous=
e that looks most like a teapot which fledged one nesting of black-capped c=
hickadees.  The adult is back again sitting on eggs for a second nest.
