Day One: The saga of little Hope (Baby Laughing dove)

The saga of Tiny Hope


18-01-2012  (Will need to consult my photographs for the right date.)
The beginning
While photographing the Tiny Tim saga, we noticed laughing-doves nesting in one of the big trees.
We noticed that the mother nearly never leaves the nest to feed, which we thought was rather dedicated.   Later we realized that it was the presence of the big Red-eyed doves that forced this dedication.

We had Tiny Tim, then Tiny Ronnie and now Tiny Hope. because Mommy say the poor chick has a snowball's hope to survive. Daddy it's hopeless.
