I walk to this tree each morning about 6:30 and mom usually looks at me - sort of checking me out
Two of the young ones (there are three)
The babies are practice climbing on the inside of the tree
More practice
and more practice
Mom climbs to the 2nd level of her home and looks out to me
Here are both windows (level 1 and level 2)
Mom looking out from above, and one of the kids looking out from below
Mom looking down, the kid looking up
Here is a video of her exit. At about 17 sec, one of the kids looks out
Mom emerging from her two story home - while baby watches (at about 17 sec). she turns around, checks on me and then leaves.
