A pair of mourning doves have been spending a lot of time
on the transom ledge above the front door.
I open the door and go out. They fly away, but not too far.
Just out to the spruce in the yard.
After opening the door dozens of times
and pulling down all their twigs and grasses several times,
I think I've convinced them not to nest above the front door.

p.s. They've moved around to a basket
on top of the shelves on the side porch!
