Red tailed hawks of MIT
Two baby red tailed hawks are nesting on a building ledge on MIT’s campus and are expected to take flight any day now. It’s all being captured on a live webcam perched only inches from their nest. This will probably ruin your productivity so you can thank me later. The live feed can be found here. You’re going to have to download RealPlayer in order to watch, but it’s worth the effort. Around 5pm today, both parents came back to the nest with take-out for the kids. Watching a baby hawk tear apart a mouse is slightly revolting yet completely riveting.
