I was snapping some pics this morning and happened to notice this dove. I have doves living near by that visit my bird feeders. I love how the treat me to their soothing coos at the end of the day.
When I fill my bird feeder, I always sprinkle some extra seed on the ground for the doves, although, they have actually been known to fly up to the feeder and enjoy the seed from there. Usually, though, they are ground feeders.
I thought that it was very nice for this dove to sit and pose for me on this beautiful Tuesday Spring morning.
Today’s Lagniappe: Bird’s Nests
Something pretty and yummy! from Amanky’s on Flickr
Bird’s Nests
(yield: 12 nests)
• 2 cups mini-marshmallows
• ¼ cup butter
• 4 cups (6 oz. package) chow mien noodles (or rice noodles)
• Whoppers Mini-Eggs (or jelly beans)
• 12 cup muffin pan
1. Butter the cups in the muffin pan.
2. (In a 2 qt sauce pan) combine marshmallows & butter. Cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (6-8 minutes.)
3. Stir in noodles, until well coated.
4. With buttered fingers, press mixture on the bottom & up the sides of each cup of the muffin pan. (you may find the need to re-butter often, and move quickly & carefully as the mixture is very sticky & hot!)
5. Refrigerate at least 2 hrs. or until firm.
6. Remove from the pan (you may find it easier to sit the pan in warm water to loosen them up first!)
7. Fill with Mini-Eggs!
