surprise, surprise. we knew she was baking but had no idea the buns were so close to ready. then we discovered a carefully laid and busily built nest of evergreen boughs, grass and straw. got that momma a heap of food, extra fresh water, more straw and her own shelter. the next morning, they are here.
