The memo never arrived! Today was Hatch Day.

We have either two or three baby diamond doves hatched since dawn this morning.

The reason I say two or three is:

The ground nest had one broken egg yesterday. The second egg hatched today.

The other nest is about 8 inches from the top of their cage. Yesterday, it has two sound eggs. I know one hatched. It's going to take more observation time to see if we have two babies in the upper nest.
