Bald Eagle Live Stream Helps Viewers Watch Eaglets Hatch

A bald eagle nest in a Pittsburgh neighborhood has been a popular attraction lately since one of the three eggs hatched.

The nest in the city's Hays neighborhood, which is located along the Monongahela River, has a popular live video stream, and now people from all over the country are traveling to the nest in hopes of seeing the new parents.

Though the video stream has made headline news around the world, it has also attracted a number of predators, according to the Associated Press.

One night, the mother eagle had to chase away a raccoon that attempted to raid the nest. A separate attack occurred when a hawk took "several swipes" at the male eagle as he was in the nest, according to AP.

Bill Powers, who provided the video camera, said the female eagle chased the hawk away.

The first egg was laid on Feb. 19, the second on Feb. 22, and the third on Feb. 25. An eaglet was born on March 28 as well, according to AP.

State Game Commission officer Gary Fujak said eaglets have a 50 percent mortality rate during their first year, according to AP.

He add that the nearby river helps the eagles survive as it provides fish, though they will also eat squirrels, ducks, rabbits, and occasionally a stray cat.

The bald eagle was removed from Pennsylvania's endangered species list recently. It was instead placed on the list of protected species, which is good news for bald eagle enthusiasts everywhere.

There are over 270 known bald eagles nests in Pennsylvania, which is an increase from just three back in 1983, according to ABC27.com.
