Bald Eagle Live Camera Feed In Pittsburgh

[DPNM]

There are a pair of Bald Eagles close to Pittsburgh. They are on a live feed camera from KDKA. There were three eggs but one hatched yesterday (March 28th). They say the eggs will hatch three days apart from each other. I just wanted to post this in case anyone else might have an interest in viewing it occasionally. Bald eagles are few and far between in this part of the country.

Hmmm.....I'm in the Pittsburgh area regularly with my job delivering groceries to Walmart stores, what section of town are they in?

Sorry, didn't bother looking at the camera feed!

Matthew, If you drive in the Burgh a lot you know where it is. For those unfamiliar with the area it's basically between the County Airport and the South-side on route 837.

It can be boring to watch but I have seen the hatchling (chicklet ) twice. I also see where they can move the camera. They had a shot of what was probably the male in a tree keeping an eye out, more than likely for food.

I have it as a separate window and look at it every so often. I think it's cool.

I live in western Illinois on the Mississippi River and this area is a winter nesting ground for Bald Eagles. They are just now leaving for the year, but they are pretty thick in the sky for most of the winter. This year there were so many and the weather so mild that they spent a lot of time in the skies and fields a little distance from the river, which is to say right above my house. One day while looking out of an upstairs window an eagle flew past not more than eight feet away as it drifted on the wind. Awesome!

Anyway, yes, they are really cool to see up close and in large numbers.

I drive for a living too. I usually listen to sports radio but when I get out of the area I switch to the big K am. That is where I heard about the camera. They interviewed a guy and if I heard correctly there are three (3) sets of bald eagles in the western half of the state. One pair north, one pair in the central part and the ones on the camera. It would be nice to see a lot of them, moreover up close.

I am not a bird "watcher" in the true sense of the word but I do watch interesting birds when I see them. We have plenty of hawks here, owls and I personally like hummingbirds and woodpeckers. Nothing like the yellow color of a canary either.
