Coldplay's new album is finally out in the US today!! I just downloaded my copy from iTunes and can't wait to give it a run-through on the way to work...woohoo!!
All about me:
Over the last few weeks, 2 very stubborn doves made themselves at home on our side porch, in a hanging fern. Now, they managed to do this, despite my roommate furiously disposing of their first nest (he loves his fern and plants very much, and a nest in the fern doesn't exactly help it). So, the doves returned, quickly built a new nest, and would not leave it. I should also note that either these same doves or others like them used this exact same spot last year. lol
Eventually, 2 babies were born, and mama and papa would disappear for the day to find food. I sometimes caught a feeding in the early hours of the morning ("early bird gets the worm"!!). But I'm guessing the parents have taught the babies to be very, very quiet, so that predators won't catch onto their nifty location.
Now, they have "flown the coop", and my roommate has his fern back (he quickly discarded the nest last night...I HOPE the babies were gone...because they were there yesterday morning). Anyway...here are some pictures I snapped while the coo coo cool family was visiting:
Mama and one of the little squirts
The two baby birds (one is kinda hidden by a leaf)
Mama and Papa keep watch from the neighbor's roof across the driveway.

I think that it's kinda cool that the doves raised their babies on your porch. BUt I understand. If they'd tried to build a nest in my cucumbers, I would have destroyed their nest, too.
