After over 24 hours of pipping and 35 days of incubation, H3 hatched from its egg! Get a quick look at Big Red and Arthur's third and final chick when BR steps back to feed her nestlings in this quick highlight. Now that all three chicks have hatched, Big Red and Arthur are challenged with finding enough food to turn these hungry hatchlings into fledglings over the next 45–50 days.

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since at least the 2012, making use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012 and 2015, 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.
