Female Eagle Shakes Off The Snow And Ice After Major Snowfall Blankets U.S. Steel Bald Eagle Nest

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- As snow covers our region on this First Alert weather day, some may be less excited about the sudden winter wonderland than others.

That may include the mother eagle in the U.S. Steel nest, who was buried under inches of snow that fell overnight.

(Check out our snow totals here and First Alert weather coverage here.)

Around 7:20 a.m. this morning, the female eagle woke up from her rest in the nest and spent several minutes shaking off the layers of ice and snow that had accumulated.

PixCams shared the footage this morning.

The company has an ongoing feed on the nest, and you can watch the U.S. Steel Bald eagle nest anytime.
