Helping the local dove family re-build their nest over the security light in 2022

 On my birthday, 4/11, I watched the young doves struggle to re-build their nest from prior years. But they had broken the security light, and no sticks would stay up there. Repeatedly failing, I saw them sitting on the purple & green table nearby resting. I decided I had to help them. So I spent an hour thinking, searching in the basement, and finding a small straw basket, an old shoelace, and then opened a ladder underneath the security light. I managed to tie the basket around the light, then made a few more trips up the ladder with handfuls of small broken twigs, sticks, and soft long grasses and leaves. And I walked away. It's been 2 days, and when I looked up, there they were. Both of them. Now they both can fit inside the nest and one doesn't have to perch in the nearby tree to watch over the nest. I've never seen both up there, together. I feel this was a timely effort and the new nest has given them a great start in beginning their new family in April 2022.
