The Pittsburgh Hays female bald eagle laid her first egg of the season Friday evening.
A live nest cam captured the egg for the first time shortly before 6 p.m.
The female eagle returned to the nest just before 5 p.m., then ate “a food gift brought by the Hays male” eagle prior to laying the egg, reports PixCams, which operates the video feed in partnership with the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania.
The pair typically rears one to two chicks each year. Several eggs typically get laid sequentially about two to three days apart, then incubate for 35 days before they begin to hatch. While incubating, the adult eagles will take turns keeping the nest “constantly” attended, the Audubon Society reports.
When: Feb. 12-15, sunrise to sunset.
Where: Your backyard, or join bird count walks at the local Audubon Society s Beechwood Farms in Fox Chapel or Succop Nature Park in Butler.
Details: To participate in the count, visit birdcount.org. To attend the local Audubon count walks, register and learn about details on Audubon s website.

About the creeks
Loyalhanna Creek is a 50-mile tributary of the Kiskiminetas River, originating from Laurel Ridge just north of Donegal.
It flows north-by-northeast along the southeastern side of Chestnut Ridge before passing through Latrobe and Loyalhanna Lake before joining with the Conemaugh River to form the Kiskiminetas River at Saltsburg.
