Description

The babies have grown a great deal in just a couple of days and it now is a tight squeeze for Dad to fit inside the box. Both parents are quite attentive and dive-bomb me when I visit the box. I have been approaching the box by different routes each visit to avoid leaving a scent trail for a predator to follow. We are heading into a cold spell in the next several days with lows predicted in the 40s. I have added more meal worms as insects are likely to be scarce.
