An egg hatched in the bald eagle nest at U.S. Steel’s Irvin plant<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first eaglet<\/a> of the season hatched on Sunday, and it seems like its sibling might not be far behind. PixCams, which runs livestream videos of the nest, posted footage of a pip on the second egg<\/a>. The newest eaglet is the ninth born at the nest since it was built in 2019. \u00a0<\/p>\n

A new camera<\/a>\u00a0angle offers a bird’s-eye view of the nest this year. Viewers can look down on the mom, Stella, as her eaglets hatch and she raises them with Irvin, the dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s Stella’s second season at the nest. She kicked out Irvin’s previous companion Claire and set up house. Last year, they raised Ocho<\/a>, who was the only one of the three eggs to hatch. Ocho accidentally fledged<\/a>\u00a0the nest in June when he was practicing his flying and fell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stella and Irvin aren’t the only eagle couple Pittsburgh birders are watching this spring. A camera is trained on an\u00a0eagle nest in Glen Hazel<\/a>, where the former Hays eagles<\/a>\u00a0relocated after a storm blew down their nest. That couple laid two eggs<\/a>\u00a0shortly after Irvin and Claire. Eagle parents spend about 35 days incubating eggs before they hatch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the eaglets hatch, they’ll grow up quickly, but they’ll stick around for a bit. The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania says eaglets spend several weeks in the nest and will usually leave in mid-summer, returning until their parents force them to move away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
