One-day-old Hawk Nestling N1 Enjoys an Afternoon Meal at the

12 днів тому

The first hatchling at the 2024 Cornell Red-tailed Hawks nest has had a busy first 24 hours, going from wet, splotchy, and hungry only minutes after coming out of the egg yesterday to dry, fluffy, and hungry in a day. Big Red steps aside and provides a great head-on look at the youngster as she feeds the nestling, and the young bird is noticeably stronger and more steady than at yesterday's first feeding.

Love to see these little hawks at this stage : tiny little creatures with large eyes, beak and neat, spiked feathers on the head !!! Just beautiful!! Once fed and crop is very full, those eyes slowly close and the parent tucks them back to sleep. Thanks for the great camera coverage Cornell University! Fantastic views !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The egg in front has pipped!! Can't wait! Plant your gardens for the wild side of life! :)

My goodness! That little munchkin can eat. I think it is a good sign that snakes won't be overpopulating the area this season.

Big Red is such a pretty red tail. Love her elfin like head. Different from ours out here in Tucson

He's so big and strong looking. I bet he'll be the dominant chick. The other 3 better look out for him!

Little wobble got the hang of it! Gruesome how pulling the snake's tendons at the neck made the body move, though...meat marionette...

I was hoping the wind would let up just a little bit. Don't want anyone to blow off nest

The two things I want to know is how is that supposed to feed all those babies with one snake when just one baby ate so much? And it seems that if she kept feeding him, he would just continue until his crop weighed him down too far. I hope it learns to share w its siblings !
