Greetings: First time here, and hope someone will answer my question about the mourning dove. How long do the young stay at or in the nest from the time they hatch? We had two hatch on 15 May, and were gone on 24 May... Do the adults move them or is it likely they were taken by a predator? The nest doesn't seem big enough for a blue bird, so maybe they get moved to more comfortable quarters... We miss them and hope the adults will lay eggs again in the same nest. Thanks for this opportunity to learn, and very best regards to all reading, FB
