Of course... Beatrix, no doubt takes after her mother!

I think you may be right Allikat - I think she has the most prominent "crown" of all the Princess' kids and she definitely has attitude ;)
She's not a big female - when she was checked out by Wildlife Haven, I had them weigh her and she came in at 800g which is at bottom of the female mass measurements, so while she is bigger than many of our recent females, she's still at the small end for females. And yes, she was fighting fit and fat when the folks at Wildlife Haven checked her so her light weight was due to nothing but her size!

I was wondering how the nestbox got all cleaned out and ready for the next season... another task on TPC's endless To Do list. ;D I can't imagine how nasty that job will be! :P

I was wondering about that -- you have a great knack for answering questions just before they're asked! As for the cleaning job ahead . . . ummmmm . . . you definitely need a raise! 8)
