Folks:

The Birds of North America account for Mourning Doves states that pairs of 
birds in southern climates may have as many as six broods in a calender 
year.  Many species that have multiple broods build new nests and it is not 
always easy to observe the additional nesting to be certain that a second 
brood is not simply a re-nesting effort.  But Mourning Doves will re-use 
their nests throughout the season.  An observer in Turlock had a pair 
nesting under the eaves of his house and observed the fledging of six 
broods over the course of the year, just about 30 days apart.

So the question is, can anyone document more than a single nesting success 
in Santa Clara County?  More than two?  Than three?  I particularly need 
the dates and location, if you have these.  Please reply directly to me and 
I will summarize for the group.

Bill
