It was a little tricky to get this shot of mommy. She's mostly gray and very nervous right now. We can keep an eye on each other when I am at the computer and she seems to be getting more accustomed to me being around. 

I came home to find a little present left in one of my balcony flowerpots.
Now I knew the Easter Bunny hadn't left it...
I've been trying, obviously in vain, to disuade a couple of insistent pigeons from setting up home on my balcony since last month...and well, I guess size isn't always the determing factor of who wins.
I guess mom and dad pigeon thought it was a nice sheltered, quiet oasis in the middle of the city. Or perhaps they just knew i was a pushover for nature. And now I'm going to be a pigeon grandma before the month is out. 

Here's a close up of the first egg. It's slightly smaller than a small chicken egg. If all goes as planned, a second egg should join it in a day or so.
