Eldest Red-tailed Hawk Chick Begins Feeding Without Help From Parents | June 4, 2026

The oldest Red-tailed Hawk chick, P1, was seen self-feeding on camera on June 4. Until now, mom and dad have been bringing prey items to the nest and tearing them into smaller pieces to feed to the chicks. At four weeks old, the two older chicks are now able to start tearing food and eating by themselves.

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.
