A bird has taken over one of the two hanging flower baskets we have outside our front door this spring. It's the second time we've played host to basket-nesting birds.We first noticed that the flowers in one basket were looking a bit more stressed than those in the other. On closer inspection, we found the beginnings of a nest and we started to see a bird coming and going.
For the last few days, this bird has been sitting there steadily; I assume there are eggs under there.
I think we'll happily sacrifice the flowers for a few new birds.

That is a mourning dove. We have tons of them around our yard. They love to eat the birdseed thrown on the ground by sloppier birds that eat at the feeders above. I have never seen one nest though. Good luck getting your hanging baskets replanted, you will need to wait until the current occupant leaves.
Thanks Richard! Thats what I was thinking.
