In Case You Missed It: This report was delayed 2 weeks by my trip to Costa Rica.

After a year without a streaming camera, the new PixCams’ eaglecam went “live” at the Glen Hazel (Hays) bald eagle nest on 16 January 2026. Everyone’s excited that we once again can watch the pair at their nest.

The hiatus occurred when the eagles moved away from Hays (and the old camera) at the start of the 2025 breeding season. They didn’t move far — just across the river and upstream — but their new nest wasn’t found on the Glen Hazel hillside until April. By then there were already two chicks in the nest so it was too late to install a camera. Thankfully PixCams immediately began planning to install a streaming camera in time for this year.

Bald eagle breeding season runs January through July in Pennsylvania so you’ll often see one or both eagles at the nest now. The PixCams YouTube video below, captured yesterday morning at 8:40am, shows the female at the nest when the male arrives with a big stick.

There’s plenty more to see.
