Washington, DC Bald Eagle Nest Cam

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.

I don't know why the nest looks dry. It's pouring outside.

WASHINGTON — The first of two baby bald eagles has emerged from its shell at the National Arboretum — and millions are watching.

At 8:27 a.m., the baby eagle shed its original home and was occasionally visible on the Bald Eagle Nest Cam before being covered by one of its parents.

Two bald eagles, known as “Mr. President” and “The First Lady,” have been nesting in a tree at the U.S. National Arboretum since 2014. This year, one egg was laid Feb. 10; a second, on Valentine’s Day.

The hatching process began Wednesday evening.

It’s hatched! A baby bald eagle was born at 8:27 a.m. eastern daylight time Friday at the U.S. National Arboretum.

The American Eagle Foundation said “it is confirmed the eaglet is out and alive.” A second eaglet is likely to hatch over the weekend.
