First Meal For Chicks On Cornell Hawks Cam - April 23, 2018

Watch the two Red-tailed Hawk chicks receive their first meal-a pigeon-just hours after they've hatched.

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.

They can't even ask for food without falling down, so cute. For some reason I never thought about a Hawk chick. They're so cute!

The left one is exploring the space.

It makes me so upset when I see only one chick being fed. I mean I don't know alot about hawks, are they simply too dumb or not have enough brain capacity to know that they have another baby that didn't get anything to eat?

[@dewbow134]

Sometimes they try to get the first one full then feed the second one

That # 2 chick needs to gobble some more grub

I'm already concerned for the chick on the left, it isn't eating well

[@charzpak7173]

Another one

Poor chick on the left. He didn't get enough food. I blame the mother for that.
