sandpiper - killdeer - geranium plants & mama doves

Yesterday's bird was a killdeer, not a sandpiper.  (My friend Lynn is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to "all creatures great and small"...such as birds - fish - dogs - etc.  Thanks Lynn!) 

My geraniums from last year surprised me and are flourishing again.  So much so that a mama dove has nestled her eggs right in one of the plants. 

There she is giving me the evil eye as I approach with the camera. 

I sure hope she hatches her babies soon - it will make watering this plant a whole lot easier!
