Day 2 Tiny Hope

We then noticed how she was sitting higher and thought that there must be a chick in the nest.   We did detect baby birds by the sound coming from the trees, but did not know if it came from that particular nest.
There has been a lot of fighting in our garden around the time that Tiny Tim was found on the ground.   

Hubby noticed a red-eyed dove fighting with the laughing dove in the nest.
After a long time we saw the red-eyed dove pecking the baby and throw it out of the nest.

Using two ladders, each time finding out that the nest is just too short, and later using a long pole with a plastic yogurt container at the end as a scoop, we managed to get the bird back in the nest
