Lake Pleasant bald eagle live-streaming camera online now

TO WATCH
What: Lake Pleasant bald eagle live-streaming camera
Where: Online at azgfd.com/wildlife/viewing/webcamlist/baldeagle/baldeaglecam
With bald eagle nesting season under way this month, the Lake Pleasant bald eagle live-streaming camera is online.
The live-streaming camera provides an unedited glimpse of nature in all its beauty and cruelness, Arizona Game and Fish reports. As with nature, viewers may witness a variety of behaviors that may seem cruel, such as feeding on other wild animals, so viewer discretion is advised.
During this breeding season eggs may be laid and hatched at different times. That can lead to aggressive interactions between growing siblings and can result in injury or death within the nest. Furthermore, the Arizona Game and Fish Department likely will not intervene with the nest if and when problems arise. The department may also choose to temporarily interrupt the live-stream, if needed.
A suspected bald eagle nest was first documented at Lake Pleasant in 1979, which was followed with the first nesting attempt in 1984, according to Game and Fish. Unfortunately, the eagle pair was unsuccessful in producing young until 1993 when the New Waddell Dam was constructed.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department Lake Pleasant bald eagle live-streaming camera is funded through Heritage and Pittman Robertson funds, the Southwestern Bald Eagle Management Committee and public donations.
The camera stream was made possible through permitting and coordination with Arizona State Land Department, Maricopa County Parks and Recreation and the Salt River Project.
Lake Pleasant in Peoria is among the sites protecting bald eagle breeding season, which started Dec. 15.
