Sharlini: Mama Zebra Dove nesting in orchid pot. May have been the one that had two eggs that failed to hatch last year. This year, one out of two hatched successfully!
©
Sharlini: The one that made it.
©
Sharlini: Emerging feathers. I want a macro lens......
©
Sharlini: Looking like the head of a Sasquatch/Yeti.
©
Sharlini: Baby Zebra Dove looking alien-like.
©
Sharlini: Beak in focus!
©
Sharlini: How can this cute mug be mistaken for the head of a Sasquatch/Yeti?
©
Sharlini: "Once I have the ability to fly, I'm leaving her my poop to photograph. Hahahaha."
©
Sharlini: Feeling sleeeeepppyyyy....
©
Sharlini: "Maybe if I closed my eyes, she'll disappear!"
©
Sharlini: I keep thinking that red dot below the eye is a tick. XD
©
Sharlini: Not quite extreme close-up. Zebra doves don't have eyelashes.
©
Sharlini: Baby Zebra Dove looking annoyed.
©
Sharlini: Taken on the 9th of June 2010. Feathers not quite out yet.
©
Sharlini: The arrangement. Silver egg cup to put rice grains in so that Mama Zebra Dove doesn't go hungry.
©
Sharlini: Very underexposed, tried tweaking with iPhoto.
©
Sharlini: Taken on the 10th of June. At least 8 days since hatching. Feathers have emerged.
©
Sharlini: Had to lift pesky orchid leaf and the pot was moving. Thank goodness this chick can't fly yet.
©
Sharlini: The nest...very accessible.
©
Sharlini: A feathery portrait of a Family.
©
Sharlini: Mama and baby
©
Sharlini: Every time I clicked, the Mama would raise its head to look at me.

Sharlini: All cropped...too many wires around.
©
Sharlini: Only a matter of time before they both fly away.

Sharlini: I'm sure something changed if you compared to the previous photo. =)
