Our Empty Nest

Just like my aunt, but for different reasons, we’re celebrating our empty nest today!

Our young Mourning Dove has flown the coop. And our monogamous parents are gone too. I imagine they’ll be back. They usually don’t stray too far from their nest. At least that was our experience with Reggie and Marita when we lived in Rogers Park.

We haven’t named this pair or their offspring.

We didn’t get to see him/her leave the nest, but I did startle the youngster when I walked into the backyard this afternoon.
