What I thought was debris in my gutters turned out to be a nesting mourning dove! 😆

Actually since gutters are specifically designed to drain, i think the nest might be okay. Unless it downpours

Any way you could elevate her nest? Or better yet. Hang a planter and move it to it?

Corner nest. Water drains. Eggs don’t.
