Bird’s Nest on the Windowsill

Bird's nest on a windowsill

In the window on the left there’s a bird, I think it’s some kind of brown dove? It built a nest there while I was away over the summer. When I returned, it was sitting there on two tiny eggs. One of them hatched the next day. The other followed the day after. There was another bird that would come in the mornings to feed the babies, giving the first one time to fly off. It would open its beak and let the little birds eat from there. Two weeks after hatching, they flew off on their own.
