She tried this once before and failed miserably...think it was too cold and she wasn't dressed warm enough. Yesterday though she acted like she had done this a 100 times. put a lot of char cloth on the nest to make sure it was easy enough for her to catch a spark but she wouldn't have needed that much. here are the three pic in order. She was estatic :)
