Today, I went to remove a brown palm frond (palm owners should get accustomed to this) from the tree near our spa, and to my surprise, the two doves flew out of the palm tree. The two doves made that startled dove fluttering noise (that is impossible to describe in text, but makes Texas hunters instinctively want to raise their shotguns). Well, we are in the suburbs, so no hunting. Turns out they have a nest in there. I will have to break out the SLR to get a good pic. So those two are full-time TFP residents after all. They sat calmly on our fence as I removed the frond. And I think they smiled a bit as I brushed the pool (okay I may have imagined that last bit).
