I have had a Mourning Dove nest in my fern plant by my front door 2 yrs in a row. I never knew the hatching of their eggs were a shared task until this. This season, only one egg hatched. Somehow one was cracked. :( I put up signs to walk with caution as there is a nest. We are still able to go in & out our front door (slowly) w/o egg-sitting being disrupted. I love to watch the process. God's beauty.

Not a Morning Dove, Morning Doves have very dark eyes.
This one seems to be mixed between Dove and a Clinker.
Clinkers are "street pigeons" with red eyes.
