I have a pair of doves nesting on my carport.One of the eggs has hatched but the other one has not.I have not seen a parent dove since last night.I didn't stay up to watch for it but when I got up this morning a parent was not their.I heard them cooing but have not seen them.Will they come back and if not how long should I wait to rescue it.It would be upsetting to me if the baby died.I have been waiting anxiously for their arrival.Ive been looking out for them for about two hours and am starting to grow concern.

I hope so.Last year hurricane Ian got the two eggs before they hatched I was surprised they came back this year.I have stage 1cancer and these doves bring me hope.I haven't seen a parent there in the nest for the past few hours and the hatchling just hatched yesterday.However I do hear them cooing once in awhile🫤
I hope you recover completely in the near future! Hopefully the parents are near and are just helping the older one try it's wings.
Hi Ravenmoon and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. That's great news that an adult has returned to care for the nestling. Thanks so much for letting us know.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.
