LIVE CAM Cornell Red-TAILED HAWK NEST

It's that time of year we've all been waiting for! The Red-tailed Hawks residing above Cornell University's main campus have begun building up their nest site across from Fernow Hall. Watch Big Red and Arthur bring in building materials and start forming the nest bowl in this clip from February 21. This is a welcome sign given reports from local birders that the hawks have been investigating alternate nest sites around campus. Time will tell if they'll choose to nest again at their favorite spot
