Three chicks have hatched in a peregrine falcon nest in downtown Boise
This is a nest at the top of a building I worked in years ago. And yes, it's every bit as windy today as it sounds!
BOISE -- Three chicks have hatched in a peregrine falcon nest on the 14th floor of a downtown Boise building where a web camera supplies streaming video.
The Peregrine Fund spokeswoman Erin Katzner says two chicks hatched Thursday and another on Friday.
She says biologists will put bands on the chicks in early June before the birds fledge in mid-June and leave the nest at One Capital Center.
Katzner says four chicks successfully fledged from the nest last year.

Peregrine falcon fans, it’s time to tune in.
The falcon couple that lives on the Woodmen Tower greeted a new chick Friday morning, and three more eggs were expected to hatch soon. The curious can watch the falcons in their nest live via a webcam.
Parents Mintaka and Charity have been incubating their four eggs outside the tower’s 28th floor.
The new chicks will be third-generation Nebraskans. Mintaka, the father, was born at the Nebraska State Capitol in 2010. His brother, Clark, lives at the Omaha Public Power District’s North Omaha Station. They were both born to falcons 19/K and Ally, who’ve reared 22 chicks at the Capitol since 2005.
