Your Natural Selection At Work

Morning Dove
Morning Dove,

A few years ago at my old apartment, before I had cats, a mourning dove built a nest in the window box on my porch and laid an egg. It was lovely having it there. However, one morning I woke up to total carnage; feathers and nest scattered everywhere, egg gone. Either a cat or a raccoon got it.

The past couple of days, outside my new place with TK, a mourning dove has been hanging out on a low wall. I am hearing that chirpy sound mourning doves make when they fly over and over. It's probably building a nest on the wall, goddamnit. Stupid bird. My cats are indoors, but there are about four outdoor cats that live here.
