After finding a mate, the male initates the nest selection site. Nest construction takes over ten hours and covers a span of three to four days. The female generally lay two small, white eggs in an open nest. Incubation lasts 14 to 15 days. Both the male and the female share incubating and the feeding of the babies.
Mourning doves have the longest breeding season of all North American birds. They can often have three broods in one season. (Source http://www.shgresources.com/wi/symbols/symbolpeace/ )
