The eagle cam is back, and better than ever. 
After a successful pilot run in 2014, the Pennsylvania Game Commission today launched its new live stream from a bald-eagle nest, hopefully just in time for viewers to see the laying of the nesting pair’s first egg. 
The 2015 live stream differs from last year’s in a number of ways. 
First, the camera has been installed in a completely new location – near Codorus State Park in Hanover, York County – and features a different pair of eagles. 
Secondly, the camera itself represents a significant upgrade from the one used during the pilot program. This camera captures high-definition footage, and it’s already recorded some remarkable images. 
Additionally, the camera this year is hard-wired to a power source, which should eliminate the live stream losing power due to the lack of a solar charge. 
Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough said those and other features could make the 2015 live stream even more popular than the pilot effort, which attracted more than 3 million viewers worldwide. 
\”There are never any guarantees in nature,\” Hough said. \”And when it comes to a project like this, you keep your fingers crossed and hope that in the coming days, weeks and months you’re fortunate enough to witness an eaglet make the transition from a simple egg to a bird strong enough to fly from the nest.
