A New Resident

A mourning dove has set up a nest in our backyard.

Beatrice is very excited, as you can imagine, and goes to check on the bird every afternoon. She was also inspired to turn the teepee in her room into an elaborate "nest."
The dove's mate hangs out with her much of the day, walking back and forth along the rooftop.

Not quite as exotic as the owl that lives in Mina and James' backyard, but still pretty cool.
