Cornell University sure as some great webcams, but then I guess that's to be expected, with their Ornithology courses. Those chicks sure are getting big! :o

So cute!  Thanks rcf.  I just checked this nest awhile ago and the kids and a parent were chomping away on an unfortunate squirrel :P

I am still amazed at the gentleness of raptor parents with their offspring.
Great captures rcf, I really have to get out there for a lesson on how to do this. :-*

Wow, those cameras have amazing clarity!!! Sure doesn't hurt having Cornell University (birds/ornithology is huge there) involved with your webcam  ;D
Those chicks are still not so cute but they sure do look great on camera.

I just took a quick peek at the camera and I'm not sure if I'm seeing leftovers from breakfast in the nest.  At first I thought one of the babies, but reading the comments section it sounds like they all survived. Whew!

I just watched a feeding!  The cam moved right in for a close view of mom feeding the two fluffies - so cute!  And the third baby was working his/her way out of the egg :)

I know this doesn't belong here, but TPC will move it to where it should go ;)

Because I participated in their naming contest I received this e-mail from Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Thank you for participating in the contest to name the hawk featured on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's live cam, streaming from the Cornell campus. After more than 1,800 suggestions for names, and more than 5,600 votes, the winning name is Ezra! This name was suggested by 105 people, who will receive a photo of Ezra as their prize. The name "Ezra" honors Ezra Cornell, one of the university's founders.
 
We hope you have enjoyed watching the hawks as they've continued to care for their eggs at the nest. Stay tuned during the week of April 13, when the eggs are expected to hatch! We'd also like to thank the cams community for the support and enthusiasm you've expressed through the chat, email messages, and online donations
