LOL..you live in squirrel and bird country, Libby.
Our morning Doves are checking out the pontoons on the boat again. They love building their nest there. We are trying to discourage them, as I hate to go for a boat ride with babies under the boat. If they start building, we'll have to keep flushing them out with the hose..lol.
Then they'll probably choose the roof on the dock table. Pesky devils, and you can't scare them.
I have lots of Mourning Doves too. They are getting quite assertive. While they do still putz around on the ground picking up what the other birds drop, there are 2 or 3 of them that challenge the Cardinals, Titmice and others for the open feeder and they will perch in position on a nearby tree branch seeking opportunity right along with the others. I guess they've decided to go straight to the source, rather than waiting for leftovers.
