--All,The nesting collared-doves in my yard hatched their brood on Feb 14. How cute.Yesterday morning, the parents were still in the tree at the nest but had just pushed both young that were frozen solid onto my driveway. The chicks weren't there a few minutes earlier when I had gone out, so I guess I just missed it happening. It was about 0-1 degrees F. Maybe there is a lower temperature limit for nesting that they haven't been able to overcome or something else resulted in their demise (food availability for the parents)? The male was singing this morning and a bird was roosting near/on the nest as I accidentally flushed it when I went out. We'll see what they do next!Cheers,Scott SomershoeLittleton CO
