As evening settled over Pittsburgh on March 10, 2026, viewers watching the Glen Hazel (Hays) Bald Eagle nest witnessed a moment that beautifully captured the quiet teamwork between these devoted eagle parents when Dad arrived with a fish delivery.
On March 7, 2026, A powerful windstorm brought a tense moment to the Big Bear bald eagle nest, where Jackie and Shadow are currently incubating their eggs. The gusts were so strong that both eagles were blown off the eggs three different times while trying to protect and incubate them. Even as the tall pine tree swayed back and forth, Jackie and Shadow kept returning to the center of the nest bowl, doing everything they could to keep the eggs warm and safe. It was a moment that was both frightening and inspiring.
In the quiet hours of early morning on February 1, 2026, the Decorah North nest was wrapped in stillness. Both the male and female bald eagles were asleep in their nest tree, perched calmly as the night carried on without disturbance. Then, out of the darkness, an unexpected nighttime encounter unfolded.
