Watch a Red-tailed Hawk Chick Hatch on Camera

The first chick on our Cornell Hawks cam hatched on Monday, and the second hatched on Tuesday night.

On Monday, the first chick hatched in the seventh season of our Red-tailed Hawk live cam. Big Red (the mom) and Arthur (the dad) are feeding meals to the youngsters right now. Watch the amazing close-up highlight of the first chick hatching, one of the fuzzy chick's first meals the next morningas the second chick starts to hatch, or check in on how the third egg is doing right now.

Watch Cornell Hawks on American Spring Live: This hatching chick starred on Monday's episode of a three-day PBS Nature series celebrating spring's arrival. Other segments featured Cornell Lab projects including Bird Cams, Celebrate Urban Birds, and BirdCast. If you missed it, you can still stream American Spring Live from PBS.
