<\/p>\nPittsburgh’s beloved bald eagles have laid their first egg of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Glen Hazel eagles, formerly known as the Hays eagles before they moved across the river, laid their first egg of the new nesting season around 3 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n
PixCams, which operates the camera, said it’s a relief after an unsuccessful egg-laying attempt on Saturday night. But this egg signals a positive start to the season, renewing optimism for a productive nesting season, PixCams said.<\/p>\n

While it’s not the first egg in the new nest \u2014 two eaglets<\/a>\u00a0were spotted last season \u2014 it is the first egg in the nest since a camera was installed<\/a>. People haven’t been able to watch the eagle pair since their nest collapsed in 2024<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n There was speculation about whether the eagles would rebuild<\/a> after the storm, but the 2025 season came and went with no eggs. Then the Hays eagles were spotted across the river in Glen Hazel in a new nest.\u00a0<\/p>\n The eagle cam is back this season, continuing a tradition more than a decade old. Viewers have been watching since the first camera was installed in 2013.\u00a0<\/p>\n It’s shaping up to be an exciting season for Pittsburgh’s eagle watchers. So far, there are also\u00a0two eggs in the nest<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0U.S. Steel’s Irvin Plant<\/a>. Last year, Irvin and Stella raised one eaglet, Ocho.\u00a0<\/p>\n It takes about 35 days for eggs to hatch. In the meantime, the eagles’ followers will be watching the livestreams as the nesting season unfolds in real time.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
