Business Wire
For the past three years, a family of bald eagles has been
thriving on property at U. S. Steel’s Mon Valley Works Irvin Plant
in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. Today, we are happy to share the
beauty of these majestic birds with the community. The Pennsylvania
Game Commission has granted U. S. Steel permission to install a
live camera that will safely capture video of the birds. This is
believed to be the first such camera at a steel plant and only the
third camera of its kind in Pennsylvania.

U. S. Steel employees first noticed the birds nesting three
years ago, and precautions have been taken to ensure their safety,
including posted signs, trail cameras and additional security.
“Our employees have enjoyed watching the birds, and we wanted to
find a way to share their activity with the broader community,”
said Don German, Irvin Plant manager. “We are honored to have the
bald eagle, a symbol of American pride, living and thriving
comfortably at our facility, where U. S. Steel products, mined,
melted and made in America, are finished.”
The eagles, which employees have affectionately named “Irvin and
Claire” after Mon Valley Works facilities, began building their
nest in 2019 and hatched an eaglet in 2020. This year, they
returned and had two more eaglets, which have successfully fledged.
Now, they are continuing to cultivate their nest, and we look
forward to watching their progress and keeping them safe.
U. S. Steel collaborated with PixCams, a company that also
provides live footage of eagles nesting in the Hays area of Greater
Pittsburgh, to install the quad HD tilt and zoom camera at a safe
distance.
“We are very excited to be involved with this eagle camera
project,” PixCams founder Bill Powers said. “This will be another
great opportunity for people from Pittsburgh and all over the world
to view another pair of bald eagles in the city. Pittsburgh has
come a long way, and it speaks volumes that we have a pair of bald
eagles nesting at Irvin Plant.”
