Bel's Must See Live Video: Fledge! Fledge!

B6 fledges around 11:04 a.m. Dad brings in a fish at 3:19 p.m., and B7 gets it all since B6 was still out on his/her adventure. Dad moves around quite a bit in the nest and a couple of the branches seemingly looking for B6. He leaves after about 10 minutes. B6 returns to the nest at 4:25 p.m.; he first went to a low branch then up into the nest. Dad comes back at 5:09 p.m. with some kind of rodent, perhaps a squirrel. B6 gets the rodent. Dad leaves a couple of minutes later. It was heartwarming to have both of the B's in the nest together again.
