On the Cornell Hawks cam, Big Red monitors her surroundings at the Fernow nest site while the camera zooms in for a close-up. Later, Arthur arrives with a chipmunk, and Big Red takes it to go while he spruces up the nest with some stick arrangements. When can we expect the first egg of 2022? The earliest lay date on record for Big Red is March 13 in 2016, so it could be coming any day. We'll be watching closely over the next week! Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/CornellHawks | Bird Cams

Check out this can't-miss moment from the Red-tailed Hawk Cam! Watch an eastern gray squirrel chase away Big Red from her perch in a tree across the street from the Cornell Hawks nest. Moments later, Arthur is seen tracking a squirrel in the same area. He fires out of the nest and chases the squirrel up a nearby tree. We don't see what happens next, but about 15 minutes later Big Red leaves her post at the nest to dine on a rodent-sized meal atop Rice Hall. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Cornel

It was a fledge-filled Friday on the Cornell Hawks Cam on June 20, when both Red-tailed Hawk chicks fledged on the evening of the summer solstice. Watch "O1" make its first flight from the nest, looking powerful and purposeful while flying across Tower Road and landing on the side of Bradfield Hall. After clinging to the wall for a short while, O1 fluttered its way down to the ground beneath the oaks and was spotted by birders in the area. Younger sibling "O2" fledged just minutes later almost c

One of the recently fledged young Red-tailed Hawks at the #CornellHawks nest returned to the nest site as a strong thunderstorm approached campus. As the storm intensified, the young hawk took shelter in the lee of the lights at the west end of the platform, and was startled when lightning struck off camera. Luckily, the view from cam 2 managed to catch the lightning strike in action as it struck what appears to be a light pole on the opposite side of the athletic fields, creating a shower of sp

The Cornell Hawks nest is going to be bustling this year. 🥚🥚🥚🥚 For a second time on record, Big Red has laid a fourth egg at the Fernow Nest site on Cornell University's campus.

🥚🥚🥚 Egg #3 has arrived at the Cornell Hawks nest! On a blustery morning in Ithaca, New York, Big Red revealed her third brown-speckled egg. So far, she’s laid one egg every three days: March 27, March 30, and April 2. Is the clutch complete? Time will tell. In her past 12 breeding attempts on cam, Big Red has laid a 3-egg clutch 10 times and a 4-egg clutch twice, in 2022 and 2024. We’ll likely know if she’s done laying eggs by April 6 this season! | Bird Cams

Fledge alert! After a morning of restless wing-stretching, flapping, and considering the edge, Red-tailed Hawk chick N2 looked out across Tower Road and made a confident leap, fledging over Cornell University's main campus, likely into the trees across the street. N2 left the lest at 44 days post-hatch. It's elder sibling N1—now at 46 days old—could take its first flight from the Cornell Hawks Cam nest at any moment.

Are you sitting down? For the first time in Cornell Hawks cam's history, Big Red laid a fourth egg during the breeding season on March 23! While it's not unusual for Red-tailed Hawks to raise a 4-egg clutch, this marks the only time in the past 10 breeding seasons (and since the cam started streaming in 2012) that the cam's matriarch has laid anything but 3 eggs during the season. Big Red has now laid one egg each on March 14, 17, 20, and 23. One thing is for sure, Big Red and Arthur will have t
