Red-tailed Hawk nestling "L1" alights on the railing of the nest platform and "tip-talons" towards the cam for a close-up that keeps on giving! All eyes are on the soon-to-be fledgling while it feels the wind beneath its wings, flaps with reckless abandon, and eyeballs the camera for one of the cutest close-ups in Cornell Hawks history.

At 47 days old, L1 is certainly acting like it's ready to take flight. Be there when it happens! Watch live at allaboutbirds.org/cornellhawks

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.
