Mom in right side with fish 4:59pm, Mom eats the fish at 5:00 and downs the tail at 5:07pm. B6 comes squeeing all the way home at 5:09pm to eat only to find out Mom ate it all, learns a valuable lesson, "you snooze, you lose, young lady!" B7 in side door 5:10pm, Mom out from right branch at 5:10pm… maybe she can't take the squeeing acoustic surround sound; B7 hops to nest at 5:16pm, B6 hops up to the left branch at 5:24pm and leaves, B7 heads out the back door at 5:36pm. B7 in to back branch 8:28 pm, then to nest 8:29pm, and then out back door at 8:31pm.
