Steve Sprengel

Lincoln, Nebraska

Two mourning dove chicks in a makeshift nest after discovering them on the driveway this morning.

This is a towel in a flower-pot saucer that we are raising higher off the ground througout the
day until we can attach it to a tree, high enough for the cats to not be a problem. The parents
sat on the towel, covering the babies on the driveway and seem responsible enough to return to the
babies after we monkey with things.

Very crisp and clear against the white. Very nice, I hope the babies will be okay.
