The Syracuse University red-tailed hawk nest cam was funded through a generous donation from alumna Anne Marie Higgins in loving memory of her husband, the Honorable Thomas W. This is a tragic loss for the pair's admirers at Syracuse University, in the local community and around the world who have followed them and their 28 progeny since they began nesting at Syracuse University, via the Karel and Cindy Sedlacek vimeo livestream since 2016, via the SU Hawk Nest Cam since 2017, and on the Facebook pages Syracuse Hawk Chatters and Red-Tailed Hawk Tales. While their year-round hunting territory also covered the adjacent campus of SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), the nearby Oakwood and Morningside cemeteries, Thornden Park and neighborhoods close to the University, it was on the SU campus where they built their nest each spring and raised their young. As a species that mate for life, SU-Sue and Otto called the Syracuse University campus home since 2012. Sadly, Syracuse University's resident red-tailed hawks, SU-Sue and Otto, have died. ![]()
