Red-tailed Hawk Chicks Poke Their Heads Out From Under Mom Before Prey Delivery | May 11, 2026

Watch two of the Red-tailed Hawk chicks poke their heads out from beneath Big Red’s warm feathers at the Cornell Hawks nest. Listen for their high whistling calls as the chicks and Big Red vocalize when Arthur arrives with prey. After a moment, Big Red rises and takes the meal away from the nest for a short brooding break.

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since 2012. They have made use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012, 2015, and 2018–2023 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.
