Hello, Dove!

I was puttering in the front yard of the house i'm caretakering lately, and I pulled down a few dead vines from a tree that I could reach from the ground, just as an after-thought. I was surprised by this dove (or pigeon), who flew over and sat about six feet above me. It was unusual because it stayed there watching me, very calm, for twenty minutes or so. I figured that maybe I had disturbed a nest, and so I stopped tugging on the vines, but I never saw a nest.
