Bird Shot 2

The condo association is having the decks and balconies power-washed and stained, something that happens every I’m not sure how many years, so all objects have to be removed. When we took down the hanging ferns over the balcony, we found something unexpected; that dark object in the center is a bird’s nest. A family of birds came and went without our noticing them.

Hanging fern with birds' nest in it.

    Bet it was a dove. We had hanging ferns at one time in Pasadena, much like that. A dove or doves nested in them a couple times. Poor-ish results, as the house cats noticed them. The birds weren’t killed but with the cats occasionally launching themselves at the hanging pots, without much success other than cannonball-like caroming, the nests never survived long.

    I think you nailed it.

    We do have mourning doves here and couple of them have been hanging around it this building.
