Egg #3 Hatches Overnight In #CornellHawks Nest, All Three Chicks Hatched! – April 29, 2020

After spending a couple of days working its way out of the shell, the third and final Red-tailed Hawk chick "J3" has finally hatched after 36 days in the egg. The first signs of hatching were observed on April 29 at 3:24 A.M., when half of the chick's empty eggshell was spotted in the nest cup. This marks the end of the incubation period for the Red-tailed Hawks. Good luck and good health to all three chicks!

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.
