One kid spent the night on a branch, the other one was in the nest until 2:07 a.m. (06:31:45) and then he hopped up on the left Y branch. One came down to nest at 6:37 (11:02:25) moved sticks and called for food. The other one was in the nest at 7:02 (11:27:14), and both were back on branches by 7:08 a.m.

After the squirrel breakfast.

Mom in back door (almost got pushed off the nest) with squirrel at 7:08, both kids mantle and have a tug-o-war over it. Mom out 7:10 a.m. B6 got it, B7 finally got a little sketti at 7:44 a.m.

Three more squirrel were brought in for the kids; one more from Dad, and two from Mom. Lots of mantling and several Tug-O-Wars. Mom even loses a feather. Huge crops were visible.

It was a very busy day, but certainly not a good one for squirrels.
