First eaglet hatches in PA Farm Country Nest

One of the eaglets in the PA Farm Country Eagle Nest hatched Wednesday morning, the Pennsylvania Game Commission announced.

The eggs were laid back in February.

The game commission has partnered with HDOnTAP and Comcast Business to provide a live look at the eagles' nest, nuzzled high up in a sycamore tree in Pennsylvania farmland.

The Game Commission says at least one of the other eggs is pipping, or beginning to hatch, so we’ll likely see another eaglet Wednesday or Thursday.

The bald eagle population continues to see a resurgence in Pennsylvania.

As the population continues to increase, so do the chances of negative interactions with humans, the game commission says.

The presence of lead in the environment is one of the major threats to the bald eagle, but people can help reduce this threat by choosing to use non-lead ammunition while hunting or by burying carcasses and gut piles so they’re not consumed by the scavenging birds.
