Victoria and Maria Theresa, my SLWs, scorn the common roost as the queens they are and prefer to sleep higher, up on the diagonal brace.
Tonight they have decided that, despite the near 4 feet of roof overhang which prevents all rain and most wind from reaching the actual vent, it's too unpleasant to sleep just there in their usual spot.
