Fledglings

Bailey Hall had some visitors this morning! Everyone on campus has been watching the skies for sightings of the two hawk fledglings who only recently left their perch above the athletic fields along Tower Road. Their parents, Big Red and Ezra, were out on campus, dodging territorial crows before briefly taking refuge at the Computing and Communications Center. To get by-the-minute sightings of the fledglings, check out the action by tuning in to the live feed from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology hawk cam. And don't forget to check out other activity on the ag Quad and beyond by reading the CALS Notes blog.
