Watch bald eagles on website
In less than a week, the first of three eggs being nested by a pair of bald eagles in the Hays neighborhood of Pittsburgh is due to hatch.
You can watch the baby birds being born and the lives of adult eagles live 24 hours a day on the Butler Eagle's website, www.butlereagle.com.
A camera has been televising live from the nest on the Monongahela River since December. A link to a live camera focused on the birds is on the Eagle's website.
Look for the Pittsburgh Eagle cam button on the right side of the website.
