Turtle doves nest
| Description: |
This photograph appeared in the September 1901 edition of Outing magazine. This photograph, along with three others were not ready for the July edition, so were supplied here on pages 656-7. in July, Gene wrote of the turtle dove, The nest is frequently located in the spread of a wild plum tree long since dead, moss grown and lichen covered, and is constructed solely of a few loose sticks and twigs, so carelessly thrown together that it seems as if the two beautiful eggs, so thin shelled and opalescent. . . would roll from it at the touch of the mother bird on coming to and leaving the nest. Not a particle of lining is used. . . page 440 |
