LIVE: Watch Pittsburgh's bald eagles

About the eagles

A pair of bald eagles is nesting in the Hays neighborhood of Pittsburgh, south of Downtown along the Monongahela River. Because industrialization caused long-term damage to the region's ecosystem, experts say it has probably been more than 250 years since bald eagles last nested along Pittsburgh’s three rivers. With the help of the Canadian government, several agencies, including the Pennsylvania Game Commission, brought bald eagle chicks back to their states.

Always grabbing all the attention. Just kidding. Watching now. Mother (I presume) sitting on eggs. I can't watch the Pittsburgh ones through my Safari browser.

The Mother is the biggest one, the Father has a white mark on his side.

He delivered a fish a little while ago and they were both feeding the chick!

I will most definitely check them out when I get that cam to work with my browser. Sounds like they're enjoying some nice sushi.

Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania confirms the hatch of the 2nd eaglet today at 7:30 am. When looking at the webcam, you can clearly see that only one intact egg remains in the nest. It's hard to see the new eaglet as it's much smaller than its older sibling.
