	On February 26th, I discovered a nest perched,
        believe it or not, on the handlebars of my bicycle.

	It belongs to a mourning dove and currently contains 2 eggs.
	The bike is on a balcony to my apartment in suburban Maryland.

	Has anybody seen a nest in a more ridiculous place?

	Also, does anyone have advice concerning how best
	to move this nest off my bicycle?  Ideally, I'd like to end up
	having the nest stay on my porch & not be abandoned by the
	parents.  Is there any way to do this and still use my 
	bike this spring?
