Hi Tweeters,

I have a question about the pair of morning doves coming to my feeder. It looks like they are a pair, male and female. (also they were copulating on the tree branch right outside our window) And I know they are very common in the state. Can anyone tell me when they will start to set on eggs? I would then expect for them to come alone to feed? I know they lay 2 eggs and share incubating duties. Does anyone have a nest in their yard? And know the approximate time before the eggs hatch?

thanks in advance!
