Thanks for sharing these - very interesting behavior. The doves don't have a nest or fledglings anywhere nearby, do they?

Roger,
Thank you for the marvelous post! It is so great an example that I had to send it to John Tng who runs www.fivedoves.com website.

Thank you again!

The narration reminded me of "The Three Bears"...golden.

Roger,
Keep an eye on the snake--he might be looking for a warbler snack!
Thanks for the docu-drama :)
