Larry Bird's babies

You may remember that I have a bird's nest on my patio. I checked the nest when I got home from California on Tuesday and didn't see any babies (squabs to be exact). But when I looked today, one of the eggs has hatched! So sweet :) Hopefully the other one is ok and will hatch as well. I read online that they are laid about 48 hours apart, so maybe they hatch at slightly different times? Fingers crossed!

baby bird!

so sweet and small. it's hard to not touch it. (I read online that mourning doves are known to carry lice and mites and that they can easily be transferred to humans. ick.)
