For those who are keeping track, this is very similar to the post I wrote 9 years ago about a robin who made a nest over our front door.

And now I have a sample size of two for how long it takes robin eggs to hatch and the birds to grow up – still 2 weeks from hatching to flying away.

Meanwhile, the dove who made a nest in our gutter has been sitting on her eggs for this whole time, about 5 weeks now. I might have to break the news to her that her eggs are bad and will never hatch. The gutter was a bad choice, because every time it rained, the eggs were sitting in cold water, which I’m sure was the reason for their demise.

If you happen to come upon a bird’s nest along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs in it, and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young;
