In all my years surfing the internet, I've never before been so glued to my computer screen!
In Hanover, PA, high in the treetops above, a bald eagle couple has built a nest and laid two eggs — and a secret camera is live broadcasting every exciting minute of it.
In the Codorus State Park, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has installed a camera to capture and remotely broadcast the activity of these beautiful, endangered birds to viewers online. The hidden camera, installed before nesting began, seems to go unnoticed by the eagles — but it provides a shockingly clear and intimate shot of the feathered family.
On Valentine's Day, the nesting couple laid their first egg; three days later, the second arrived. The bald eagle parents have patiently warmed their precious eggs through the harrowing winter.
Since discovering this live cam (which you can find at the bottom of this page), I can't stop watching these majestic creatures. I'm too afraid to miss a single moment, especially the hatching of the two eggs.

Bald eagles typically begin nesting in January. So long as it remains in good shape, eagles will use the same nest for years.
This camera was installed under federal and state regulations for threatened and endangered species.
Bald eagles typically mate for life, returning to their nest every year for breeding. For the first two-to-three weeks of the nesting period, at least one adult is at the nest nearly 100% of the time.
The parents alternate sitting on the eggs until their babies hatch.
During this year's snowstorms, the eagles had to endure piles of freezing snow. But through it all, they never left their eggs!
