This was just so cute.  Just before lunch, baby was cruising around.  Mom
grabbed and dragged him back to the nest.  Suddenly, mom looks straight
up at camera.  The lid lifts off the box, and mom shoots through the hole
at right.
 
I see the upside down torso and arms of a woman, who scoops out the
soiled sections of the nest box, then tosses a few handfuls of clean
litter in.  Lid is replaced.  Mom immediately returns to the box, checks
on baby, sniffs around a bit, and makes a new deposit, just like my own
fuzzies delight in doing to a clean litterbox!
 
Bably has about doubled in size and is starting to turn darker.
 
It's so cool having this up in the corner of my screen at work, and
bringing the window to the front every now and then.

Well back to work!
