Baby Mourning Doves This Morning!

As I wrote earlier, a pair of mourning doves decided to nest on my front terrace, and the babies hatched yesterday!  Sure enough, wikipedia was right, they took about 15 days to hatch.

And sometime overnight, they managed to throw the egg shells out of the nest.  This video's from this morning.  If you pause the video around 13 seconds you can see the babies there during the shift change:
