Sounds interesting. I would help but Boise is a bit far. Good luck with it. Might try finding some vertical cavers in the area.

If it's that guy... I'll help.
$90,000.00/usd /day is the typical rate.
I'm cheaper than Killary.

Esco will help you with that kidnapping, and take a few shots at the parents as well.

I used to do this kind of job.
But I only took the eggs and when chicks hatched put them back into their mothers and fathers nest .....

Check out the Boise Squirrelsuit Univeristy.
If you have 200 jumps, it will be economical to have them teach you to wingsuit. It's all about getting as close to the chicks as you can.
You'll be scraping the rocks in no time; and one of those chicks might just decide to hitch a ride in your cleavage.

Stealing chicks from their nest?
That is low bro...
Let the little homies stay with their parents. They like that better than some creepy falcon birder guy.

There is a difference in permit, between possessing and collecting. Mr falcon better have both.

Even if you have both permits that shite is lame.

1st year mortality for birds of prey is somewhere between 80 and 90%. Taking a chick from the nest ensures that this one will survive his/her first year. I've hunted with red-tailed hawks in the past. They live hard and die often, and all the negative comments on here are spoken from ignorance. Good falconers know they are helping the birds out, operate fully within the law, have the proper permits, etc. The birds fly free, can leave anytime they want to and are released back into the wild fat and skilled. I got into the field 3-4x a week with my hawks, sometimes for 4 hours a day, making sure they received as much exercise as possible. Not all of all us are like the extravagant arab falconers. My birds were hunting partners, not pets, not prisoners. All were released successfully.
