Hi Kate, The two eaglets at Hayes are so cute, I love all the birds around Pittsburgh and being able to see them on the web cams. Like the Peregrine cams, the Eagle cam is not always easy to watch. Easy or not, it’s such a wonderful opportunity to view all these birds and their lives. Thank you Kate for alI the information you provide to us.
Kate, the eagles are also very fascinating to watch. Their nests are less sheltered so hopefully they can keep the babies safe until fledge time. Still watching Hope and her eggs. Time will tell.
I guess it isn’t looking good for a 3rd hatchling at the hays nest. Has anyone heard anything different?
