L2 fledges at Cornell!

8 June 2022

Everyone expected the first hatch of Big Red and Arthur to fledge first. She has been real antsy and jumping all around the railing. Instead, it was L2 the second hatch who took flight this morning at 0531 (very difficult to see the time under the Cornell information).

L2 is 45 days old!

Ready!

Gone!

It was a perfect flight over to Rice Hall.

Congratulations to Big Red and Arthur, Cornell and all those who love these beautiful Red-tail Hawks!

Thank you for joining me this morning. Take care. See you soon.

Thank you to Cornell for their streaming cam where I took my screen captures.

    1. I think Arthur dropped off an entire meal to L2 over on the top of Rice! She is being well looked after. Big Red does not like to feed them on the nest after they fledge. She did last year because of K2 but normally she gets upset at Arthur so when all have flown you will see them scrambling over on Rice for the prey drops!
