This morning, H1 and H3 raced to the nest to claim a prey offering from Arthur. H1 swoops in to snatch the rodent from its dad's talons and mantles over the prey while H3 vocalizes from above. You know they say, the early bird gets the worm—or in this case, the rodent!

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.
