Eaglet in Hanover nest dies

People have been checking in on the Eagle Cam in Hanover since Monday when the first egg hatched.

This morning people began noticing the eaglet wasn't moving.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission confirmed on Facebook this afternoon that the eaglet has died.

"It appears the eaglet that hatched on Monday night on the ‪#‎PGCeaglecam‬ did not survive. As we've noted, the live stream provides an opportunity to view wildlife in its natural setting. Sometimes, that may include scenes that are difficult to watch.

The Game Commission will not intervene in this situation. Federal safeguards exist to protect nesting eagles. Persons encroaching a 660-foot perimeter around a nest are in violation of federal law. At this point, we will continue to monitor the nest and the second egg."

Hopefully, the second egg will be viable.
