Look who I found hiding among the thorns of that huge cactus I featured in yesterday's post. I saw these two fledgling doves hiding among the thorny arms of the toothpick cactus. They seemed to be patiently waiting for the return of their parents.
They look like they are big enough to leave the nest and start exploring on their own. Maybe mom and dad left them there to see if they would spread their wings and fly.

Aren't they just darling Sharon, always surprises me that they make their nests surrounded by thorns, good protection from predators though ✨
Nice find.
Fantastic closeup photography Sharon. Doves truly are the symbol of peace.
What a pretty pair.
You can almost hear them, coooo
Ithough that they were little sculptures at first! So cute.
Our neighbors have a flower basket on their second story balcony. Doves return there every spring to raise their young. It is so much fun to watch them. The Mom and Pop always seem to be together. Not sure what age the little ones leave these nest. ..but these two look about ready.
They look content...
Great pictures, Sharon!!
So cute and patient.
What a great photos!
Adorable.
They definitely seem about ready to go out on their own. That cactus probably makes a great nesting spot -- nothing can get at them!
Oh they are so cute and fluffy.
I suspect they are good to go and just waiting for the right moment.
They actually blend in quite nicely with their surroundings - so cute
