I work for a land conservancy nonprofit called Red-tail Land Conservancy. Recently my boss, Barry, told me of a live-stream video of a red-tail hawk nest at Cornell University. Its something I can leave up on the browser and every time I need a break I can simply click over and watch the birds and their chicks. Today I decided to watch them while I ate my lunch (some wonderful shrimp corn chowder) and wow am I glad I did.
You see, today at 12 pm the third and final egg in the brood decided to hatch. All of us watching were lucky enough that the mom, Big Red, decided to stand up, giving us the perfect view of the chick as it hatched. I feel very lucky to witness such an event. I also feel lucky to get to see the other two chicks, who hatched on Monday, interact with their parents, each other, and the third egg. The pictures here are from the live-stream and feature the first 2 chicks with the egg and the top picture is of the dad, Ezra.
