In Ithaca, NY it’s been 38 days since Big Red, the red-tailed hawk, laid her first egg on March 13.  Today one of her three eggs has a pip.  Watch it hatch online!

Big Red and her mate Ezra nest on a light pole about 80 feet above an athletic field at Cornell University.  They’ve attracted an online crowd ever since Cornell Lab began hosting their nestcam in 2012 at Cornell Lab Birdcams.

Click here or on the screenshot above to watch Big Red, Ezra and their growing family.  Check out the Twitter feed on the right of their webpage for recent close-ups and videos from @CornellHawks.

Red-tailed hawk eggs hatch every other day so if you miss this first one there are two more eggs to watch.

Downy nestlings coming soon!
