Bald eagles nesting in Pittsburgh.

The Hays eaglets are really getting big. We’re starting to see black feathers.

The parents now leave the eaglets alone in the nest while they hunt. The nest is becoming lined with fish skins. The Mon has been an excellent source of food. The river that was nearly dead is now home to 76 species of fish.

The eaglets are now about 7 weeks old and are nearly as big as their parents.

The nest gets crowded when both parents and both eaglets are in the nest at the same time. One of the parents brought a large fish to the nest.

Do they eat cats?

The male brought a small black and white cat to the nest several years ago. It may have been a road kill but there’s no way to know for sure. Sure kept them busy all day. They killed a gull a few years ago and had white feathers all over them, the nest and the eaglets. We’ve also seen rats, squirrels, rabbits and nearly anything that they can pick up and fly with. Their most common prey however, is fish from the river. It’s hard to identify the species of fish, but one they caught last year was probably a small paddle fish which was driven out of the rivers several generations ago by industrial pollution.
