Three Downy Red-tailed Hawk Nestlings Perk Up For Breakfast As 4th Egg Hatches – April 26, 2022

Three hungry chicks line up for long breakfast feeding at the Cornell Hawks Nest. Egg #4 is pipping and should be hatched soon! Watch live at allaboutbirds.org/cornellhawks A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since 2012. They make use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012, 2015, and 2018–2021 they used a tower near Fernow Hall, and in 2013, 2014, and 2016, they used the tower nearest Weill Hall. We installed cameras at both of these sites to get a better look at the intimate behavior of these well-known birds as they raise their young amid the bustle of a busy campus. #birdcams #live #hawk #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #newyork
