The first three weeks of August were long and hard on B3 Branch Buddies and chatters. The cams were offline for new installation and update for the chat app. But when everything finally came back on the 20th, we were all happy nesters!
We had to wait another week before seeing Mom and Dad on the 27th, and that was a real treat! Dad came back for a few minutes in the evening on the 29th. He may have spent the night in the nest tree (or close by) because in the wee hours of the 30th, he landed on the left branches 12:58:55am and vocalized softly 12:59:06. He hopped to the nest at 1:10:51am, then to the right branch at 1:11:19. D moved into cam view at 6:38:06, hopped to nest 6:39:10 and nipped at the grass. After looking around for a bit, he flew out the back side door at 6:43:44am.
Now we're ready for September and Season 8!
