26 February 2018
As of Saturday night we have bald eagle eggs in both of Pittsburgh’s on-camera nests.
Near the Allegheny River, the Harmar female laid her first egg for 2018 on Saturday evening 24 February around 5 pm.
On Sunday Steve Gosser went to the Harmar viewing area and was seen on the eaglecam as a speck in the parking lot far below (photo at top). He calls it his first Eaglecam selfie. If you visit the gravel parking lot on Freeport Road near the Hulton Bridge, you might get an eaglecam selfie too. 😉
At the Hays bald eagle nest near the Monongahela River there have been three eggs since February 19, but we haven’t been able to watch them “live.” Pittsburgh’s overcast skies have kept the Hays solar panels too low to broadcast. No selfies over there!
The sun made a brief appearance yesterday and is due to shine today so the Hays eaglecam will probably return soon at ASWP’s Hays Eagle Nest webpage.
Meanwhile, here’s a snapshot of the three Hays eggs on February 22 plus links to videos of the three eggs’ first appearances.

Keep up with both nests on Facebook at Bald Eagles in Western Pennsylvania — Audubon Society of Western PA or visit the Audubon Society of Western PA’s bald eagle webpage for links to the cams and the latest news.

Hope all the babies survive. ???
This is a great eagle site. Enjoy watching parents feed the two eaglets. My 9 year old granddaughter in Nashville and I in central PA watch it together.
