To Lizardlady,

I would suspect that the dove family is still around and probably won't go far if there is food and water around. It only takes a number of days for a fledgling to leave the nest/barn and then the parents will probably help the nestling/fledgling learn how to feed on its own.

Every year we get different baby birds species leaving their nests. Some are more feathered and coordinated than others, in different stages of developement. All depending on if they left the nest on their own baby wings, fell out, or a rain/wind storm swept/blew them out. But all are very CUTE!!

I would think that the doves around your place will be there for you to see again, year after year!!!
