AZ / Phoenix - 2016-17
burdi:
The poor chick fell, and AZGFD were panning/zooming the cam around in search of the the chick on roof below. We will have to wait for an official update from them.
burdi:
The chick has been on the lower ledge most of the night, but I hope he/she will be back in the nest by daylight (footsteps sound close now). It's been worrisome though, as I've seen how this chick sometimes flops around or sprawls out while sleeping in the nest, and that could be very dangerous on a narrow ledge.
burdi:
Chick seems to have become a pro very quickly. He/she did it again - down, then quickly up again - no problem!

Copy of Update from AZGFD:
"It was quite an afternoon for the Phoenix peregrines. While its parents were out foraging, the peregrine chick climbed up onto the ledge of the box and jumped down to another small ledge a few inches below. The chick was able to make its way back into the box and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the chick has figured out how to get down there, it’s likely to try this again… being a Peregrine–Cam fan is not for the faint of heart!"

Thanks RCF, I watched while AGFGD zoomed cam around to monitor chick, and was happy when it turned out well - as that ledge is not very wide. Chick came up on left side of nest, and I think the step was helpful.
