While visiting my parents in suburban Boynton Beach, FL, I had the pleasure of observing these birds. The Mourning Doves built their nest on my parent's hurricane shutters. Apparently, these birds mate for life and sit on their eggs in shifts. The Burrowing Owl perched opposite the Mourning Doves and watched them for about an hour before flying away. I was very glad the Owl didn't attack the nest!
