Red-tailed Hawk Nest at Cornell University. Tree Nest Placement Red-tailed Hawks typically put their nests in the crowns of tall trees where they have a commanding view of the landscape. They may also nest on a cliff ledge or on artificial structures such as window ledges and billboard platforms.

Nest Description Both members build the nest, or simply refurbish one of the nests they’ve used in previous years. Nests are tall piles of dry sticks up to 6.5 feet high and 3 feet across. Clutch Size 1-5 eggs Incubation Period 28-35 days Nestling Period 42-46 days Egg Description White or buffy, blotched or speckled with buff, brown, or purple. Condition at Hatching Tiny and helpless, unable to raise head, and weighing about 2 ounces.

Small Animals Food Mammals make up the bulk of most Red-tailed Hawk meals. Adults make a hoarse, screaming kee-eeeee-arr. See full Species Info at All About Birds About the Nest A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields for at least the past four years. Big Red and Her Mate. Live! Great Blue Heron Nest at Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Tree Nest Placement Great Blue Herons nest mainly in trees, but will also nest on the ground, on bushes, in mangroves, and on structures such as duck blinds, channel markers, or artificial nest platforms. Males arrive at the colony and settle on nest sites; from there, they court passing females. Colonies can consist of 500 or more individual nests, with multiple nests per tree built 100 or more feet off the ground.

Nest Description Male Great Blue Herons collect much of the nest material, gathering sticks from the ground and nearby shrubs and trees, and from unguarded and abandoned nests, and presenting them to the female. Clutch Size 2-6 eggs Incubation Period 27-29 days Nestling Period 49-81 days Egg Description Pale blue, fading slightly with age. Condition at Hatching Bluish eyes open, chick covered in pale gray down, able to vocalize. Fish Food Great Blue Herons eat nearly anything within striking distance, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, insects, and other birds. Wikispecies.
