While I was distracted by the COVID-19 emergency, the Hays bald eagles hatched two eggs!
The first eaglet appeared on Sat 21 March 21 at 7:40am, above. The second one hatched on Monday 23 March at 6:40am, below.
In the day between hatchlings, Audubon Society of Western PA captured this video of the mother rolling her second egg. Notice how carefully she holds her talons inward as she steps near her chick. What a good mom!

p.s. Stay safe, folks. Online viewing is best! Allegheny and seven other Pennsylvania counties are now under a Stay At Home order through 6 April. (Click for details) We are allowed to go outdoors but must stay six feet apart.

Wonderful news! Thank you for sharing.
On a “senior hour “ grocery run this morning, we were fortunate to spot a bald eagle high in the trees at the bottom of the mon incline above the Point.
