Cam reset in the wee hours of the morning 1:24am. A lot of family vocalization starts at 2:18 a.m. with clucks, squees, and chatter. B7 highly upset and clucking, apparently not knowing what is going on, and neither do we. We can only speculate that an owl was around, or perhaps Mom made an unexpected visit to the tree throwing the kids off guard. Fortunately, after about 15 minutes, things calmed down.

Dad in back door with fish 7:13, out quickly. B6? mantles, eats and is finished by 7:29. Dad brings in another fish at 7:46, he leaves a minute later. A little nut thrasher is seen on the nest at 7:47. At 8:38 a.m., B7 lifts up off the nest with the fish in his talons, then decides to eat it at 8:40. At 9:02, the nut thrasher starts to come down the back branch towards B6. The nut thrasher comes onto the nest at 9:29am to steal a feather while B6 was watching.
B7 right up to cam 12:04; B7 puts on a show on left branch 12:07.

Bel was at the nest today and reported that: "M came in without going to the nest & stayed on her favorite perch for 2 or 3 hours, at 8:25 she went to a tree or two behind the nest to perch, at 8:30 dad came in without going to the nest & landed on Mom's fav perch. They were both still there when I left (almost dark)."
