Thanks, TaylorD!
Well, apparently I posted too soon! I had looked all up and down that edge of the property without seeing them so I thought they had gone; however, as I was about to pick up some empty plant pots this afternoon, suddenly there was this dove, acting like he/she was injured and slowly hopping away. I looked in the opposite direction and there was the little one again.

They moved over to an area by the basement door where I had been doing some repotting about 20 feet from the old spot. They actually are less noticeable there than they were in the straw.

This is not such a great photo from my iPhone but there's baby, in the corner at the lower right of the door....and mom out front.
