Lol ... please you have nothing on me, I called Australia for a chick last year and I spent a half hour this afternoon in a strangers backyard trying to talk a juvie out of a bad part of a tree and even tried to show him by flapping my arms how he could get out of the tree ... ;D ;)
Well done Alison!!!

The cam view was switched for a few minutes:
And there is a new update on the site, posted this evening:
Monday, 8 June:
Lots of action at the nest box over the weekend! A small team led by Idaho Fish and Game Department biologist Bruce Haak went out on the ledge Saturday afternoon to put a wayward chick back in the nest box after it climbed out, then couldn’t hop over the edge of the box to get back in. Recent high winds and heavy rain influenced the decision to assist the chick, even though it was being fed and closely watched by its parents. While they were there, Fish and Game also banded the chicks. Each chick (two females and one male, we now know) sports a small aluminum U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service band on one leg. A chick was observed out of the box again Sunday. Bruce Haak and Jack Cafferty of The Peregrine Fund went up on the ledge Monday morning to put a rock at the edge of the box that the chicks can use to hop in and out. Clearly, the youngsters are eager to explore their surroundings.
Now I don't feel like an idiot for phoning them yesterday!

Alison, the first of the photos, with the three fluffy chicks lined up watching their parent on the ledge, is beautiful.

There is a place along side of the web page where people can chat, post comments etc. Sometimes they are just chatting and not talking about the falcons.
