Hello tweeters,

Today while I was out birding in Lincoln Park, I observed a nest with
Band-tailed Pigeons who might be brooding eggs.

I was watching one pigeon which was sitting in a tree on a branch 12-15 feet
off the ground, when I saw another pigeon sitting on a nest about a foot
away. The nest-sitting pigeon got up and flew away and the pigeon I was
originally observing immediately walked to the nest and sat down on top of
it. I did not see any eggs, but from that behavior I think it's possible
that they are sitting on some.
