Mourning Dove Nest Cam Part 2

This is Part 2 of a multi-part educational series on the nesting of mourning doves, caring for the eggs and raising of the young. The nest is located in a flower pot I have hanging from the eaves of my garden shed. The filming is done with an inexpensive USB webcam and an old laptop inside the shed. This episode shows care and incubation of the eggs from Day 2 thru Day 10 since nesting began on August 5, 2014. Teachers, please feel free to use this video content in the classroom.
The parents take very good care of the eggs. They take turns guarding the nest, with Dad taking the noon to 6pm shift, and Mom taking the rest, including all night. They never leave the eggs unattended for more than a few minutes, and they turn the eggs every hour or 2 as they sit on them.

I’m turning into the crazy bird lady!! After watching the soap opera of Ward and June.... I’ve been trying to figure out what my doves are. They appear to be white winged doves. On day one of feeding, I had about 4-6 doves. A few days later about 10. Another day I had at least 40. This morning after a spook and a huge flurry of feathers scattering all over the yard. They flew up to the 3 electric wires running across my backyard. I was able to start counting them by the 2’s up there. I stopped at 110!! I did some more research and I bought another $150.00 worth of food, this time cracked corn and sunflowers, and other seeds. Not a big blend of seed and filler. I did get some “dove, quail, pigeon “ food which is a blend, but I think that’s what brought them in droves!! They are still not touching the water I put out. I brought the “chicken water feeders” in yesterday and washed them and put them back out. Today I added a few drops of apple cider vinegar to one. I made some sugar water, but I don’t know if only hummingbirds like that. I’m worried about ants. I don’t have trees to hang any feeders. One water is on the ground and the other is off the ground, but only a few inches. I put a silver dog bowl out today as well (not galvanized) with a few inches of water on the ground next to a rock in the shade. I can’t invest in an expensive water feature for them as this house does not belong to me. :-/ I have no place for one on my condo patio. I think they are FINALLY hunting my hornworms, though. I like to think they are. They have been perching on the roof right above my tomato plants and staring down into it. I hope that I’ve plucked them all off. I’ve removed at least 20 in three days. Love the videos ❤️🕊🕊🕊🕊
