nesting


We thought it was the new neighbor's dog. A low growl every couple of days. Then we decided it was another neighbor's cat. A month later, Cristina caught the culprit, the largest pigeon I have ever seen. Regularly we saw her hanging out on the deck we share with the neighbors making a weird growling sound. And then yesterday, we found out the fattest pigeon ever has laid eggs in the window box. I have never liked pigeons, but today I found myself quietly taking the garbage out so as not to scare her. And the picture is taken from the doorway since she looks so nervous. If I ever get to see the babies, I'll take a picture to post. Until then, I'll be tip-toeing with the recycling.
