My mourning doves only had 3 batches this year......so happy they had any, but kinda miss them

right outside my back door area. One year they did have 5!!!!! I wonder if I should leave the robin’s nest they’ve used for two years. I do love their actual dove nest, it’s like 5 - 6 sticks laid criss-crossed on the platform.

1. The male mourning doves that frequent our patio and backyard...

…are horny little buggers. They pursue the females constantly, all summer long.

3. I know, the males are trying to hump the females all the time.

4. Yeah, pretty much

2. I only had one.

But, I'm in a new house (old house) and I have no idea how many were had there last year. I have been waiting and hoping for another one. I've left the nest there just in case.
