HDOnTap partners with Comcast Business and Hawk Mountain Sanctuary to bring live streams to bald eagle enthusiasts.
HANOVER, PA (November 29, 2018) – It is a new year and another chance for bald eagle enthusiasts to watch and follow Hanover, Pennsylvania’s nesting bald eagle pair for the fifth consecutive year. The Pennsylvania Game Commission awarded the live streaming permit to HDOnTap, who will continue streaming the Hanover nest cameras live on their website beginning December 3, 2018.
This year HDOnTap is collaborating with Hawk Mountain Sanctuary , a global leader in raptor conservation science and education, and Comcast Business, which is providing the Internet connectivity for the live broadcast. The live video feeds are available to watch here.
The bald eagle’s history in Pennsylvania is a precarious one. Only 30 years ago, Pennsylvania had a mere three nests left in the entire state. With the help of the Canadian government and several agencies including the Pennsylvania Game
Commission, bald eagle chicks were brought back to Pennsylvania to reintroduce bald eagles to the Northeast.
Last season proved to be unsuccessful for the Hanover bald eagle pair, commonly referred to as “Liberty” and “Freedom.” Dedicated viewers watched patiently as the parents took turns incubating their clutch of two eggs in hopes to see new
eaglets brought into this world. In mid-March an “extra” adult bald eagle interfered with the nesting pair which ultimately led to the nest failure.
“We are excited for the 2019 Hanover Bald Eagle Nesting Season. This is one of our most popular live cameras,” says Tiffany Sears, HDOnTap Co-Founder. “Since 2015, viewers have enjoyed over 35 million hours of 24-7, live HD video and audio from the nest, as well as daily time-lapse clips on screens worldwide.”
“Comcast Business is proud to again partner with HDOnTap to provide fast, reliable and secure Internet service that will enable nature enthusiasts to view the live bald eagle cameras,” said Toni Murphy, Vice President of Comcast Business for the company’s Keystone Region.
“HDOnTap is also thrilled to be partnering with Hawk Mountain Sanctuary on the new Hanover Bald Eagle Blog, to help share with viewers educational information, photos and video highlights pertaining to Bald Eagles and specifically the events at the Hanover nest,” says Tiffany Sears.
