Hawk's Nest Webcam
For the last several years, two red-tailed hawks, one male and one female, have made a nest on the west side of the STEPS building at Lehigh. Each spring, the Lehigh community has enjoyed watching these “Mountain Hawks” nest, hatch eyas and grow into a family via live stream.

Fascinated by the bird’s activity, George Yasko, Lehigh’s field projects laboratory manager, had the idea to install a webcam to share a live feed of the hawks’ nest with the Lehigh community. His idea became a reality in Fall of 2015 when a high-end web camera was installed with the help of the Office of Sustainability, Library & Technology Services and Facilities Services.
MEET ENGI & NEER!
In 2016, students, faculty, staff, alumni and local friends helped name our hawks after a social media contest. The Lehigh community voted via Facebook and Twitter and named our feathered friends "Engi" (pictured here on the left) and "Neer” (pictured on the right)!
