Thanks sky! Here's a companion video to go with your captures by Gracie Shepard, one of the followers of the IWS nests. I told them about this nest just the other day and went in this morning with info of this morning's incident. So, then Gracie went in and did an edited video to capture as much as possible. When I scanned the DVR this morning, I missed Dad's attempts to feed his chick while trapped that Gracie captured. But the best part (other than the actual rescue) has got to be when Dad looks to be attempting to pull his chick out shortly after those attempted feeds!!

Thanks Swinwk!!...and yep, Dad did his best to get it out..with no luck.

I spoke with the people in SLC the day of the oops moment. Bob (retired wildlife biologist) has already gone and bought pea gravel to fill that gap if it happens again. They made sure they had access to the building if anything happens this weekend.

So far, so good this morning.

Breakfast...had to slow down the DVR to get all the action..

Kids trying to steal

Dad escaping...

Headed to the back corner...seems to be the preferred feeding spot. One chick went back there before dad...possibly in anticipation?

I always try and book mark the main page (if they have one)...that way, if the link changes, it should change on the main page.

About 2 1/2 hrs ago...

I haven't seen dad yet today...which really has me nervous as he is the only food source...I just hope I missed him.

All I can say is WHEW...Dad finally arrived (probably 45 min ago)...If he hadn't arrived by 1 pm nest time, I was gonna call out the calvary!! (Bob and Liz)

This may be their first feed of the day...which is very unusual if it is..(I had been going through 6 hrs on the DVR..with no luck)

heading to his favorite feeding corner.

All 3 still up there..I think there are: 1 male, 1 female, and 1 possible male (youngest)..

Food drop this morning.

They've got a great group of people currently on Falcon Watch..

Via FB:

2 have fledged..1 grounded after hitting glass windows (if I'm remembering correctly) and on the way to rehab..I hope its fine and can be returned.

Female is still up there..and periodically makes visits to the nestbox..( you can see her very early this morning via the DVR!!)
