All three Red-tailed Hawk chicks have hatched! Get an amazing look at the third chick "I3" while it hatches from the egg after Big Red raises up for a feeding. As the hatchling works its way out of the shell, Big Red offers a bird foot to the nestlings as they jockey for the best position to get a bite. Good luck to Big Red, Arthur, and their chicks as they transition into the nestling period!

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since at least the 2012, making use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012 and 2015, 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.
