The fist baby hawk in a nest outside a third story window at the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library has hatched. The red-tail hawk parents took up residence in a pine tree near the window about a month ago. There are believed to be three eggs in the nest so there should be more babies in the next few days.

After hatching it takes about four months for the young hawks to grow before they learn to fly and leave the nest.

Below is a live feed to the library hawk-cam set up to monitor the birds. Activity should now pick up as the two adult birds take turns feeding their young.
