Watch Big Red prepares to leave the Cornell Hawks nest after delivering prey to her youngest nestling, P3. Just as she departs, recently fledged P1 arrives back at the nest in search of a meal. After noticing that P3 has possession of the prey item, P1 heads right over and takes it from the smaller sibling. Afterwards, P1 hops back up on the railing and takes to the skies once again.

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.
