Welcome "N1"—the first hatchling of the 2024 Cornell Hawks Cam season! After its egg began pipping on April 24, the eldest hatchling was revealed in full during its first feeding with Big Red on April 25 after 39 days of incubation. Watch Big Red shuttle small bits of chipmunk to her clumsy chick before tucking it back in under her warm feathers.

Another egg has started pipping, so be on the lookout for hatchling #2 at any moment!

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 2018–2023 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.
