Red-tailed Hawk Chick Eats An Entire Chipmunk – May 29, 2018

From the creator

As the young Red-tailed Hawks prepare for a life of independence, they start by learning some of the most basic survival skills. During the final weeks leading up to fledging, we'll see more self-feeding in the nest as the chicks learn to tear up prey and feed themselves without the help of a provisioning parent. Watch live at allaboutbirds.org/cornellhawks 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. #birdcams #live #hawk #redtailedhawk #nest #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #newyork
