I guess all the "museum pieces" from last night's interior decoration of the nestbox have been EATEN.
From Chris:
April 18 – [3:00 AM] As you can see, things are almost back to normal. The ants are gone, the bedding in the box has been replaced, the three neatly beheaded cedar waxwings which were cached in the box were rendered ant free...
I guess that explains why the museum pieces had a particularly avian quality...made me nervous a few times, but for the darker color...
