Wish I had known before the weekend, would have brought my walkie-talkies in for y'all to use!  I'm afraid I will have to be at work on Thursday.....~

If the range is within 3km, you don't need a very fancy pair of w-t at all, very basic will do it.  we use them at the lake, in the bush, and they carry very well for about 2-3km.

Problem is I have no idea how much they cost... google Toys "r" us, I would be surprised if they didn't have any.

Don't know if anyone who is coming has kids (or grandkids) with walkie talkies, but if you do, snag them and I can give y'all a blow by blow description of what we are up to ...
So I could pick up a set of walkie talkies, but don't know too much about them. Will a half decent price work or do you have to go high tech?
The great thing about walkie-talkies is that all you have to do is press a button to talk into and release it to listen.

Of course you will!  That's why you are the unofficial official photographer isn't it?

OK, so that makes sense.  I have the vision of the Radisson banding but know that the nest here is up out of the way of anything else so is not so readily accessible.  He would need to concentrate on getting up and down safely with chicks.  So, does he have a bucket that hangs from a belt to transport them down or does he do all the work up there by himself? 

Chicks get lowered from the nestbox to the roof via a bucket (like the ones I used on the nestledge) and we take them inside to band.  Then we bring them back out and up they go and so does Dan and he puts them back in the box ...
