Mourning Dove Family Part 2 ( Hatching and raising young)

Mourning Dove Family Part 2 (Hatching and raising young) Part 2 of a twopart educational series about the nesting behavior of mourning doves. Follow our mourning dove pair, Ward and June, as they hatch their young and raise them. Filmed with an inexpensive USB web cam connected to my computer via a long USB cable. The webcam needed no maintenance, so there was no human interference or interaction with the birds at the nest. The events depicted are as nature directed, not me. I simply provided a convenient place for doves to nest, and a camera to record the whole thing. As the camera was running during nearly all of the daylight hours, this video was edited down from hundreds of hours of raw video footage. Many of my viewers ask me about the doves nesting in their yards, because mourning doves will nest just about anywhere. The main purpose of this film is to show you what s happening in the nest, so you don t have to disturb them in your yard. Please watch my films instead of disturbin
