Don't Let the Pigeon...

Spring is definitely "Spring-ing" here in Sunny Sacramento! :)  You may be familiar with the children's books, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late (I think that is one of the titles) and other various pigeon adventures. Anyways, since I spend way too much time with children when I first saw what was on my back porch, those books immediately came to mind. Imagine my surprise when I was doing some Spring cleaning yesterday and opened my back door to find a pigeons nest and a single little egg waiting for me! The mom and dad flew off but stayed near-by when I opened the door so I knew it was a pigeons home. I tried not to interrupt because I wanted them to come back and take care of their baby, but I didn't want to get dive bombed so I discretely took a few pics and let them be. And do you know what happened next...I came home from work today to find ANOTHER egg! Mom and dad are nowhere in sight so I hope they have not been scared away and abandoned their family! Stay tuned...we may have two babies in another 18 days, I'm going to call this Mission: Don't Let the Pigeon Abandon It's Babies! HA! :)
