Curious Red-tailed Hawk Chick "L1" Investigates Cam For The Ultimate Close-Up! - June 7, 2022

[@MyAnimalAddiction]

That dance across the railing to get to this (close-up) end … and that amazing little face looking right into the lens … thank you for capturing this vid, it’s one to treasure! ♥️

[@bugsbunny3107]

Now that’s what I call a birds eye view!

[@karenfrashier7604]

L1 is a beautiful hawklette! So cute!! Love the rail dance!

[@lesliekonvalin1630]

I was thinking what a sweet innocent face looking into the camera so curiously juxtaposed to the majesty of their mighty wings flapping! Thank you for sharing such a magnificent beauty of nature! 🦅

[@Bird_In_House]

L1's little flappy dance across the railing! 💕 Very good job of keeping your balance and strengthening those wings L1!

[@marybyars9642]

Adorable little face, and I loved that rail dance as well!!

[@RaeS3]

That sweet adorable face! 🥰 Hello there L1!

[@beckybendit383]

The parents did an amazing job raising their young, just like every year! Thank you for this Live Feed. I have learned so much from your live cams in the past several years. Most enjoyable! ❤️

[@franwillis7497]

It is hysterical to watch sibling turn head upside down to watch this comedy taking place. What a hoot!

[@sandramassung3743]

Thanks to the camera person for such an incredible view!

[@1980rlquinn]

Look at those storm-gray eyes! Such a cutie! I was squeeing the whole video!!

[@anna-xp6eh]

1 legged little skipps on the rail. But my heart skips a beat when she/he is doing the rail flipping and walking. And I always said they have such a sweet looking sharp big round eyes. So swwweeet, these birds are!(says Yoda LOL)

[@antigonish63]

The siblings were watching him like a hawk! Totally in control on the railing, then on the jump down between the others in a small space. I'm thinking tomorrow for the fledge, especially if it's windy.

[@reneleclerc6119]

That's a handsome bird.

[@susantrevino7446]

The other three are taking notes. Love how it’s looking right into the camera. They are so beautiful 💙

[@luispalmagomes]

:-D

[@glennawood6974]

"Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up." Beautiful bird!!

[@elizabethhenning778]

1:35 The other three! 😆

[@Bird_In_House]

Aw, their curious heads! 💕 That was so cute. Thanks for the timestamp, I missed that the first time. 👍

[@shannonstraughan4383]

Adorable!!! We LOVE birds. Had many pet birds over the years and miss them. All in Heaven now we have cats and dogs from rescues. ALL birds are so smart and fascinating. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us!!!

[@donnaroberts164]

How precious!!!

[@LariatLady150]

I had two in my yard yesterday; one was sunning itself on the ground. I took a ton of pictures. I love it!

[@jamielynn6190]

1:35 siblings head upside down watching L1 on the railing. Dreaming of fledging today! So inquisitve too! You watching me. I'm watching you too. LOL

[@gen1twenty2]

This might be the cutest thing all season, of all the cams I watch. My gosh. I bet this made the cam-op's heart skip a beat with joy at that moment

[@wendym.7648]

The one talon hop! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MrTwitch62]

This is awesome! 💖 I had the pleasure of seeing several red tail broods come and go for over 10 years in Philly. This is wonderful to watch.

[@dawnfurseth9042]

Beautiful babies and incredible camera quality and work! Thank you so much for this :-)

[@iggy711]

I lived in this region for 20 years and spent much time in Ithaca, exploring the canyons and streams. Carl Sagan's home was right above one of them. When you walk the stream and climb to the campus it's a bit of a historic concrete jungle. The sports complexes are not far. This is absolutely something I never paid attention to. It's awesome.

[@debdew7125]

Wow!! That was magnificent! Thank you so much for this beautiful video! 🪶💜

[@1kdavis]

This may be the cutest thing I've seen in a long time!

[@ruth8268]

Excellent job L1!!! Nice to meet ya!!

[@lisaa7991]

She is SO cute!! Those sweet eyes!

[@elizabethguy]

Such gorgeous, perfectly-designed creatures of flight from our majestic Creator! I love to watch them.

[@suehamilton8531]

Agree. God has made them to be so beautiful and inquisitive 😍😇

[@hillaryburdick9313]

100% agree!

[@young1939]

They are wonderful and I love that we can enjoy another species coming out. I had a pet red tail hawk as a boy for a short time before I figured out that wild birds and animals belong in the wild and need to be free.

[@fisherbird1739]

wonderful footage

[@truckerbecky442]

L1, what a dancing rockstar. You’ve got this with those super peepers!

[@lighten851]

Yes those tender eyes and leg strengthening acrobatics

[@karenjoy511]

Soooo adorable!!!

[@VeganSuz]

So beautiful! And I think you've been found out, staring right into the camera.

[@paulasremi]

Impeccable balance L1!

[@barnowlwatcher]

They are stunning!

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Every year there seems to be at least one chick that does this with the camera ... love it! 🧡💛🤎🧡 That was quite an interesting little trip down the railing, too!😄

[@swarachandorkar]

The close up view captures L1 beautifully! Hats off to the cameraman..!

[@Darknlovelyone85]

[@luispalmagomes]

Fantastic. In Portugal, We have some cases of Hawks breeding on buildings in periphery of Lisbon.

[@munbruk]

So beautiful.

[@jorgedelatorre9442]

Beautiful close up!! Of the four chicks (L1, 2, 3, and 4), which are boys and which are girls?

[@elizabethhenning778]

We don't know. You could guess based on size, but the only way to be sure is genetic testing.

[@debs987]

Adorable!!! ❤

[@juliemoylan9697]

You made my day, L1. You and your siblings live long lives out there.

[@daisybee1439]

Beautiful birds!!

[@lorrem2539]

Do you think he sees himself in the camera? I always love the way the siblings watch, so cute.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Definitely!🙂

[@jenng9021]

I wondered if it noticed the camera zooming or panning

[@lizbethfullemann554]

this is so great! I've watched a lot of bird cams but have never seen a close up like this

[@marciahorn8]

This little one is so curious and persistent! Lovely!

[@marlyndonnelly2206]

What a treat to see!

[@RR-wi5qq]

Howcute!❤️❤️❤️

[@paulineb66]

This is great. Thanks.

[@juliapurdy4653]

fascinating, intelligent and beautiful...easy to see that the predator's eyes focus both front and to either side... like ours!

[@allias8515]

L1 knows we’re watching them

[@juliehauser3648]

In the original footage you can see the little one on the nest facing the camera cast a pellet at 7:10:45ish. Was hoping it made the cut for this video! Too many "highlights" to catch them all!! Love watching them grow :)

[@jenmeek2048]

So cute and curious 😊

[@ninacoop876]

I think this video is awesome 😎! Those fledglings look strong and healthy.

[@angelnanc8]
