Live Streaming Wild Bald Eagles in Arizona

To bring Arizona's unique wildlife into the public eye, the Arizona Game and Fish Department aimed to use live streaming to showcase the state's natural wonders. In Lake Pleasant Regional Park, just north of Phoenix, an eagle nest perched on a cliffside captured the department's attention. The decision to live stream these eagles allows the public to observe their daily triumphs and challenges, providing a rare glimpse into the life of desert-dwelling eagles.

"Our goal is to provide opportunities for people to truly appreciate and connect with Arizona’s wildlife, and live-feed wildlife cameras such as this help us to do exactly that," said Randy Babb, the Game and Fish Department’s Watchable Wildlife Program Manager.

Webcam Installed in the Desert Covered With Rocks So the Eagles Don't See It

We Never Turn Away from a Challenge

Installing remote live streaming webcams is as complex as it sounds. When you add the challenges of desert heat, careful design and planning become essential. For this particular installation, extensive coordination with the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) was required, along with custom network configuration, mapping, measuring, and even hiking. As with many remote live streaming webcam projects, this was not a one-size-fits-all solution. To ensure the success of this installation, we needed a system capable of withstanding extreme heat. This off-grid setup relied on solar power, fixed wireless to extend the network across mountain tops, and a custom audio solution to position a microphone near the nest hanging off a cliff.
