N2 Follows Big Red To Cornell Hawks Nest For A Meal, Arthur Offers Second Breakfast - June 14, 2024

It's a double dose of chipmunk for N2! Big Red lures her fledgling back to the nest site with a prey offering. The young hawk flies in and mantles over its meal. Seconds later, Arthur arrives with a second chipmunk, which N2 accepts before digging in!

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.

N2's got that mantling thing down pat! Hope N1 is getting some similar treats. (Still wonder how they're told apart...🤔)
