Amphibian is on the breakfast menu this morning at the Cornell Hawks nest. Watch Big Red arrive on the nest platform while her mate Arthur is busy incubating. Arthur lifts off the nest to reveal the eggs, but Big Red is interested in the frog that he stashed in the nest bowl earlier this morning. She picks up the tasty treat with her sharp beak and takes it to go. Arthur rolls the eggs and settles back in.

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since 2012. They make use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012, 2015, and 2018–2021 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.
