Sooo…my sister contracted COVID at these games. Not sure exactly when but given the way she was bowling it’s quite possible she had it from the start of competition. Dad and I drove her back from Florida, and I’m feeling like shit now: 13 hours in a car with her so odds are high that I got it now, too.
That last photo is awful because we were pressed for time 😭
Aforementioned birds are up and out of the nest. They huddle together on a little shelf on the grill, sometimes they leave, then they're back up there, so I guess they're able to fly a little. Won't be long now.
Some mourning doves (also known as turtle doves, yes like the Christmas song) decided to nest in a hanging planter next to our grill. Apparently they're notorious for this, nesting wherever, even on the ground if they can't find a good spot. Anyway, we had to use a different grill last week to avoid disturbing them.
My wife saw the parents do the shift change (they take turns sitting on the eggs), and they keep sitting on the babies even after they're hatched, which can look pretty absurd:
Totally missed this. Cool they have their babies now.

Awwwww. I see only two of them there though, are the other two camera-shy or could you just not fit them into the shot?
