Bald eagle live cam shows bird nesting amid winter snow storm
HANOVER, Pa. (FOX 5 DC) - The Pennsylvania Game Commission's popular Eagle Cam, a 24/7 livestream at the Hanover, Pa. nest, is showing that not even Mother Nature can stop a bald eagle from nesting duty.
"This is one of our most popular live cameras," HDOnTap Co-Founder Tiffany Sears said. "Since 2015, viewers have enjoyed over 40 million hours of 24-7, live HD video and audio from the nest, as well as daily time-lapse clips on screens worldwide."

The last two seasons have been tough ones for the eagles at the Hanover nest. No chicks have hatched in either. Last season, viewers watched patiently as the pair of adult eagles took turns incubating their clutch of two eggs, but by late March, the eggs still hadn’t hatched and were deemed unviable.
Eagle-lovers everywhere are hoping this year will be different.
