Guess who showed up on my front porch a few days back....
They were being so still I almost missed them. In fact, my son and I walked right past them, played a game of tag, and didn't see them until we were headed back into the house.
They look like dove fledglings ..they didn't fly away even when my son got really near (no, I didn't let him touch them). After we went inside they hid in a patch of unmowed grass right next to the porch. It looked like they might have been there earlier too...it looked well "nestled" into. My son was supposed to mow there yesterday, but he had bailed because he saw a wasp. So glad he didn't! We're going to have to be very careful when we mow now to check for wildlife first.
So, for all you lazy mowers out there like me, just know that one of the benefits of letting your lawn go is...
cute :)
