Pittsburgh Hays Bald Eagle Nest..2018

Post by IrishEyes » Sat Feb 24, 2018 11:33 am

Welcome to the 2018 season of the Pittsburgh Hays Eagles. I am posting this with thanks to Judy B ..this is all her documentation.

Pittsburgh Hays Bald Eagle Nest Cam with Chat


Thanks to PattiO from the Window-on-Wildlife Forum for introducing me to this nest, which has the first webcam ever set up on a Bald Eagle nest in Pennsylvania, and researching the information about the area.

Link to cam and chat from Audubon Society of W PA -- http://eagles.aswp.org/ (chat includes Harmar nest)

Eagles of Hays Face Book

Taken from Judy B's excellent documentation..
Hays is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and lies southeast of the center of Pittsburgh along the Monongahela River. The nest is on a steep, wooded hillside overlooking the river. The pair reared one young chick in 2013, which was the first successful eagle nesting in the city in more than 200 years, according to game commission officials. The pair successfully raised three chicks (H2, H3 and H4) in 2014. The pair only laid two eggs in 2015, and neither of them hatched; one broke at about 3-1/2 weeks and the other collapsed at around 5 weeks - neither was viable. There was some miserable weather early in the incubation period which might have been a factor - host PixController reported that they received a very interesting message from one of their Facebook fans Susan Shearer. This was her message: "Wanted to give you some info I got from the Raptor Education Center that may be the reason the eggs failed...On Feb. 24th mom stood up and steam came off the nest ..after that the color of the eggs changed ...out of concern I messaged the Raptor center sent them pics of the eggs before the incident and after ..also sent them video of the steam coming off..they had concerns that there was too much moisture and that could cause bacteria that would harm the eggs being they were just a few days old...This makes sense to me." Hoping for a better year in 2016.

The pair laid three eggs in 2016, two hatched, and H5 and H6 fledged successfully.
2017 - Well, this may be one for the record books. The pair laid their first egg February 10 - and two days later, on the evening of February 12, the nest tree was blown over during a windstorm. The camera caught the female flying to safety as the tree fell, and by the 15th, they were hard at work on a new nest - and on the 19th, they appeared to be incubating an egg! It hatched - and H7 fledged successfully.

Welcome everyone to the HWF new forum and the Pittsburgh Hays nest thread .. :hi:

Sadly the Cam is down ...

Update from Pix Controller
PixController
2 hours ago
We have an update for all of the Hays bald eagle camera viewers. Today at noon we sent a remote command to power up the Hays camera. We saw video, which means the issue with not having video seems to point to a low power issue. At 1 PM today we sent a command to power the camera down since we are still not out of the woods yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny so our plan is to power the cam up around 10 AM, which is when we typically start seeing sun on the panels. The many days in a row without sun this month has caused the issue with the battery storage. Looking forward to streaming the cam tomorrow for all to see.

Goodnight Hays eagles and all who watch this nest.. :grhug:
