As some of you know, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology up in Ithaca, New York has been featuring two bird cams on their website--one is in Ontario, Canada and the other is in Ithaca, NY. The cameras are focused on bird feeders in their area. I was just checking on them when I noticed another cam up and running. This cam is also in Ithaca and is focused on two red-tailed hawks that have just started building their nest on a pole on the Cornell University campus. Keep watching and you may see the female, Big Red, lay her eggs. She usually begins egg laying in early March.
