This is an update on these majestic birds. I haven't been on this site recently. The eaglets are due to fledge around the end of June. Camera view has gone awry due to wingercising.

About the Hanover Bald Eagle Cam
UPDATE FROM THE PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION:
We believe that the camera angle may have been shifted by eaglets branching on top of the camera. We won't approach the nest to attempt to rectify the camera angle and risk interfering with the nesting attempt. We expect the eaglets to fledge soon and still plan to turn the camera off around the end of June or early July. Thank you for your interest in this unique view of bald eagles in Pennsylvania.
HDOnTap has partnered with Pennsylvania Game Commission to bring you this front seat view of two Bald Eagles during their breeding season!
The bald eagle's history in Pennsylvania is a precarious one. Only 30 years ago, we had a mere three nests left in our entire state. With the help of the Canadian government, several agencies including the Pennsylvania Game Commission brought bald eagle chicks back to their states to reintroduce bald eagles to the Northeast. Today, Pennsylvania boasts more than 250 nests.
