Today marked the first sighting of the second chick to hatch at the 2024 CornellHawks nest, and after an eventful morning of drying out and fluffing up, Big Red took the opportunity to serve up a snack before the weather turned colder and wetter in the afternoon. Arthur also stopped by with more prey for later and N2 got a front seat for his arrival! Welcome to the world N2!

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.
