The tree line and rock face along Route 28 in Harmar have become eagle central as two juvenile eagles fresh out of the nest above the busy highway flit about with their parents.

The birds officially graduated, flying for the first time on Saturday, according to the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania and a Fox Chapel photographer who spent the weekend following the birds.

Known as “HR8” and “HR9,” the two young birds are the eighth and ninth eaglets hatched by the Harmar pair since they began nesting on a bluff above Route 28 and the Allegheny River in 2014.

Gina G. Gilmore saw both birds out of the nest over the weekend and Monday. One of them was stationed just outside the nest, in a good position for feeding from parents, while the other juvenile ventured out further along the Allegheny River.

Gilmore documented the more adventurous eagle making a rough landing in some vegetation along the Allegheny and hanging upside down for about 15 minutes. The bird eventually right-sided itself.

The eagle family will continue to frequent the Harmar and Allegheny River area for at least the next month as the young birds hone their flight skills and learn to hunt. Their parents will continue to feed them.

I agree, IrishEyes. I hope they're able to put a nest cam up in Harmar next year. I guess they have to wait and see if the eagles decide to stay or build another nest. Thanks for all you do to try and keep us informed. :)

IrishEyes, I saw this on YouTube too. You can see how treacherous that hillside is in Harmar. Good luck getting a cam up there... :luck:

With thanks to Gina G. Gilmore, local observer/photographer, and the Harmar Bald Eagles of Pittsburgh Facebook group, I have learned that HR8 fledged at 7:11 pm on June 22 - and HR9 followed twenty minutes later!

HR8 was last seen on August 4; HR9 hung around a little longer, and was last seen August 11.

Congratulations, Harmar family, on a wonderful season!
