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. Each year, they have raised three young nestlings from hatching to fledging on a diet of small rodents, pigeons, small birds, and other prey. The female hawk, nicknamed “Big Red” in honor of her alma mater, is slightly larger, with a darker head, nape and throat, and is banded on her right leg. From banding records we know she was banded in nearby Brooktondale, New York, during her first autumn in 2003. The male, named Ezra after the co-founder of Cornell University, is banded on his left leg. He’s a bit smaller and has golden-tawny feathers on his face and head, and a paler neck than the female. He was first banded in 2006 as an adult bird on Judd Falls Road near the Cornell campus. #birdcams #live #hawk #redtailedhawk #nest #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #newyork
