Daylight View of "M2" During Breakfast Feeding of M1! May 8, 2023 | Cornell Red-tailed Hawk Cam

The second egg at the #cornellhawks nest finished hatching this morning just before 4 A.M., and M2 has continued to dry out through the early morning hours. Just before 9 A.M., Big Red stepped off to feed M1, and we were greeted with a bobbly-headed M2 still getting its bearings while M1 gobbled down the tiny bits of food offered to it.

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.
