Closer cam, higher def, more babies, sound and no ads. Cornell does not mess around when it comes to birds.

expobill		2012-04-29 04:15:31 PM

i walked past there and saw the nest, so tomorrow i will take photos.

johnnieconnie		2012-04-29 04:15:57 PM

They're so cute! The momma hawk has a needle-sharp beak and a look that says, "touch my babies and I'll keel you!"

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom		2012-04-29 04:16:30 PM

Man, mama hawk means business. Also, is that a dead mouse in the nest?

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:19:05 PM

Dawwww... so cute and fuzzy

Mama hawk is checkin' out the guy in the minivan...

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:20:42 PM

Mama Hawk just watched a man getting out of the van with a baby carrier. I wonder what she was thinking.

Is that just.... half a rodent laying on the side of the nest?

Yeah, I think so.

expobill		2012-04-29 04:26:37 PM

after seeing the footage, i don't want to disturb the nest, but......
happily we are not over-reacting towards the hawks as we usually do.

Make sure you poke them with a stick if possible. I hear Hawk's like that.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:30:20 PM

That one chick is doing a few all-important leg stretches.

Hawk nests are really spartan. There's not much in the way of padding.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:35:42 PM

That's Hawk Dad, I believe. And it looks like he's caught an afternoon snack

Clarinch		2012-04-29 04:36:49 PM

She brought back another animal. I'm not too familiar with the eating habits of raptors. Do they just spend the whole day collecting a hoard of food?

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:37:56 PM

I wonder why they're white as hatchlings. You'd think it would make them easier to spot.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom		2012-04-29 04:38:20 PM

There's something moving on the right side of the nest! Just to the right of the new mouse... or is it just something blowing around?

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:39:21 PM

Mama's home!

I think the moving thing is a feather

Harridan		2012-04-29 04:42:29 PM

Love the bottom-half of the chipmunk lying feet up in the foreground! That'll teach Chip n' Dale to snoop around!

I was gonna say, yeah, maybe all week...because I saw Cornell's last week, I suppose.

/the Lab of O is right outside my back door

Go out into range of the camera and wave at us.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:44:33 PM

I see a blonde girl in a brown jacket. Is that you?

Fish in a Barrel		2012-04-29 04:44:45 PM

Looks like some (human) chick is waving to her friends watching the feed.

Go yell at that chick to get naked. I hear women like that.

/Bad advice day it seems.

charity		2012-04-29 04:45:21 PM

There's a lady in a brown jacket on the ground waving at us...or the hawk. Not sure.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:45:43 PM

On second thought, I think that's the dad again. The mom doesn't have a white face

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom		2012-04-29 04:47:03 PM

I like how they show a commercial featuring a cute little chipmunk. Seems to be in poor taste considering the hawkling's dinner.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:47:38 PM

Maybe the chicks are white so the parents don't mistake them for food?

Fish in a Barrel		2012-04-29 04:53:31 PM

In my mind the chicks are white for the same reason P-51 Mustangs were polished aluminum: it's the camouflage equivalent of "come at me bro."

tarheel07		2012-04-29 04:55:17 PM

I think it's a headless chipmunk.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:55:26 PM

"Leftovers for dinner AGAIN?"

Fish in a Barrel		2012-04-29 04:55:29 PM

FEEDING TIME!

Dennis_Moore		2012-04-29 04:55:37 PM

Dat is one Ugga-Wee Bood!

tarheel07		2012-04-29 04:57:30 PM

But I'm not really sure what that grayish blob near the baby hawks is. It looks semi-alive.

Chariset		2012-04-29 04:58:53 PM

tarheel07: But I'm not really sure what that grayish blob near the baby hawks is. It looks semi-alive.

It's a mouse, I think. Caught less than an hour ago. I think the fur is ruffling in the wind.

I'm not sure why only the chick on the right is getting fed. More aggressive? More hungry?

From what I have seen all animals feed that way, one at a time. Probably a survival method because it guarantees that at least one is getting the most food available. The world doesn't work in "fair" terms like us humans like to think.

brap		2012-04-29 05:04:27 PM

Mmmmm viscera, my favorite!

Chariset		2012-04-29 05:05:27 PM

Every now and again a hatchling refuses a scrap (too busy eating the last one... too big) and you can see Mommy Bird go "Oh, well." *NOM*

Mock26		2012-04-29 05:06:20 PM

You can clearly see that one chick is smaller than the other two. I do not think that that one will survive much longer.

bullllll-shirt! Did you see that last move there that put him front and center? Go little guy, go!!!

Ima gonna sit on you for a while....
