Over Easter weekend, famous eagle couple Jackie and Shadow welcomed a pair of eaglets in front of the world, as the hatchlings were captured live on the nest cam in Big Bear Valley, about 11 miles from Los Angeles. Pittsburgh has its own eagle family that welcomed chicks recently, too. Here’s what to know about them, and where to spot the birds in person. Who are Pittsburgh’s bald eagle couple? Bald eagles Stella and Irvin reside in a nest at U.S. Steel Corporation’s Mon Valley Works Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, about 12 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The eagles welcomed three chicks that hatched within the last month.
