D.C. Eagle Cam

A pair of bald eagles are raising two new eaglets in Washington, D.C.  You can watch them grow at DCEaglecam. You should see them now - they're looking good!

From the website:

In 2014, a pair of mated Bald Eagles chose the most idyllic of nest sites within the United States’ National Capital (Washington, DC), nestled high in a Tulip Poplar tree amongst the Azalea Collection at the U.S. National Arboretum, which is operated by the United States Department of Agriculture. This is the first Bald Eagle pair to nest in this location since 1947. The two Eagles have been iconically named 'Mr. President' and 'The First Lady.' Join us in viewing the most patriotic nest cam in the United States, 24 hours a day.

DC2 hatched at 8:27 a.m. March 18, 2016 Eastern Daylight Time. DC3 followed two days later, hatching March 20 at about 3:00 a.m. EDT.

Waking up for a feeding early this morning. (Used Gyazo GIF for screen grab of the cam shot.)

I remember our dear departed friend Joe Philley posting about them years ago at the oGEC, fascinating now as it was then.
