Watch H2 fledge accidentally while preening on the fledge ledge. First reports from BOGs Karel and Bogette are that the hawk landed safely and made its way into a nearby tree. More to come!
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.
Less than a week remains until this endangered chick is expected to fledge over the Atlantic Ocean.

Osprey Chick Self-feeds In Nest For First Time! – May 21, 2018
It’s time to check off another developmental milestone for the Osprey chick in the Savannah nest! Here, the chick can be seen making its first attempt at self-feeding, using its sharply hooked bill to tear away tiny bits of a half-eaten fish that was brought to the nest. This behavior is typically observed at around 40 days post hatch (the chick is 36 days old), and we should expect to see the chick start taking fish directly from parents and feeding on its own as the nestling period progresses.
Three camera views are available—two PTZ cameras and a fixed cam. Mouse over the playhead and click on the little camera with the arrows inside it, then select the camera you’d like to view. Watch live at www.allaboutbirds.org/savannahospreys

Here’s something to cheer you up on a rainy day! The Cornell FeederWatch cam welcomed it’s first Indigo Bunting sighting ever at the feeders. This bright blue bird is a breeding male who likely recently migrated from its wintering areas, which stretch from southern Florida to northern South America.
