M3 has arrived! It took almost two days for the third and final Red-tailed Hawk chick to finish the hatching process, but persistence pays off. Big Red unveiled the first look at M3 at around 12:30 P.M. on May 10. Now that all three eggs have hatched, the incubation period is officially over for Big Red and Arthur. Now, the adults can spend all of their time focused on keeping their trio of nestlings safe, warm, and well fed!

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since 2012. They have made 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.
