The Bald Eagle nest in Hays has some eggs!
The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania says the first egg was spotted on February 17 and the second a few days later on February 20.
It’s the 11 year that the eagles along the Monongahela River have laid eggs. During that time 18 eaglets have been successfully raised.
Last year, the eagles successfully raised three eaglets.
The eagles are the first bald eagle couple to successfully nest in the city in over 150 years.
With concerns over the environment following the East Palestine train derailment, The Audubon Society says there is very little to no concern the eagles will be affected.
Their nesting place is about 50 miles away from the derailment site and there is no intermixing of water in the area with the water flowing west from the Ohio River to East Palestine.
