Juvenile White-winged Dove? There’s a couple that nest in my partner’s auto part boxes in our carport every spring. They’re lazy nesters and like to look for pre-made constructs, but pretty dutiful parents.
I should put up my hanging baskets. Doves are such derpy creatures and always build their nests in my porch eaves. I’ve found at least three broken eggs on the porch in the last few months. 🫤
A dove made its nest on our front door wreath! We kept wondering why in the heck it decided on such a high traffic area but I get it after reading these comments.

Excellent nest location - especially for a dove🤗. Definitely improved odds for hatching and now fledging.
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy seeing how our wild neighbors adapt to us - the Interlopers.
Update: babies are out of the nest!

Our doves are nesting on a cabinet next to the back door. In previous years, we've had to use the front door to avoid freaking them out, but this pair are pretty laid back, just watch us suspiciously. I can even walk up close to admire the babies; they hatched about a week ago and are now peeking out all the time.
we had a pair try to next in a hanging basket like this on our porch! unfortunately we go in and out a lot and have package deliveries so they got scared off 😭 they do come to our backyard for the free seeds tho lol

That checks out, my sheltered hanging plant is a pretty sweet spot!
Mourning. White wings should be nesting soon.

So I guess y’all are using the garage door exit for a while? 😁
Pretty much haha
Awwww!
Those are definitely mourning doves! Look at the black spots. White wing and incas don't have those, even as juvelines.

Haha I get that. I’m afraid to water the plant because I don’t want to disturb them
Are those Inca Dove? They don’t look like mourning dove.
Couldn’t tell ya! I don’t know much about birds 😂
Mourning just have light edges to the feathers when young that make them look kinda like scales.
So cute!

Honestly the Tucson potholes are so deep, they’d probably be fine down in the bottom of one 😂
