Actually they’re eyeballing the sparrows that want the nest too. I did see the doves on the nest with the sparrows on the wire that goes right by the nest. Spring for sure when that happens. I wonder if I should just knock the nest off the platform and let them start from scratch, the robins I mean……either way, robins, doves or the sparrows, always a fun Spring, watching all the goings on in that old nest area.
