We have a Dove nesting in our basket-ball goal in our driveway. She does not seem to be scared of us at all.

You know, for a Morning dove, thats not a bad nest! The best ones I have seen are from White wing dove, which are starting to take over here.

Looks like momma dove took over a robin's nest. That doesn't look like a mourning dove nest at all.

Cute pic too. Love it when doves use weird areas like that to nest. :)

I seen a dove build a nest on the drivers side of a truck that set in one spot to long. The nest was made over the wind sheild wiper arm. My uncle was a softy for birds and didn't use the truck much so he let the dove nest and the babies fledge. She only nested there once.
