Three days after Valentine's Day, a Pittsburgh couple added a potential new member to the family.
At 5:25 p.m. Friday, bald eagles nesting on a steep hillside overlooking the Monongahela River in Hays experienced the delivery of their first egg of 2023. Additional eggs are expected soon at Hays, with more to follow at the other known eagle nests in Allegheny County
The Hays eagles have been nesting on the same hillside near the Glenwood Bridge since 2013. During the final days of January, the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania witnessed mating activity via a live-streaming wildlife camera. The nest is among six active sites in Allegheny County. It's the only one located within Pittsburgh and is visible from the Three Rivers Heritage/Great Allegheny Passage trail, particularly before the sprouting of spring foliage.
