It is great to see Mama Squirrel come back for her baby. No matter what we humans think and say due to emotions during these periods of stress, instinctually the Mama knew her timeline when she had to pick up her baby. I bet she was watching the nest box closely up in the tree the entire time to make sure all was well, and she would come get her little one when she felt the coast was clear while still within feeding time. I have to say that I didn't recognize earlier that the Mama Squirrel's teets were swollen and irritated like she was nursing and thought she was still pregnant. Looks like she might have more than one baby 😀
There are two boxes in my yard. One box is hidden behind branches. The other box is in a different tree, up higher with no branches hiding the box. If you look closely at the front of the boxes, one box has a branch with bark as a perch, the other box has a piece of square cedar wood as a perch.
Thank you for your reply and opinion@@trakdv362. Seems so long ago. I also have wondered if Bonnie had other kits in this litter and not only Lucky. I wonder because Bonnie's teets were very irritated and "well used", with fur pulled away from the area. She is getting older, and it appears that she has aged a lot since Edmund and Neil (3 litters in 13-15 months and this past summer's heat is a lot of stress). I have grown fond of your channel and watching these precious creatures and she is the Matriarch that seemed to start it all. I appreciate every moment I get to see her with Lucky and enjoy every video you capture and share with us of her when she is outside the nest box. May she live long and healthy.
Excellent slo-mo footage!!

Where did the tree branches come from, and then where did they disappear to?

@@trakdv362 There are two different nests in the video, thanks for the clarification!
Now noticed the broadcast, with these two nests
I still wonder if this is Bonnie with her Baby Lucky?
I really think it is Bonnie with Lucky.
