Any time now! Two bald eagles are just moments away from hatching in a nest in Washington, D.C — and there is a livestream showing every second!
A bald eagle has been nesting over her eggs in a tulip poplar tree in the U.S. National Arboretum, which is run by the United States Department of Agriculture. According to dceaglecam.eagles.org, she is the first bird to do so in that location since 1947.
The site also reports that the little critters are actually past their due date. The first egg was expected to hatch on Tuesday.
“This is a wild eagle nest and anything can happen,” the site cautions. “While we hope that two healthy juvenile eagles will end up fledging from the nest this summer, things like sibling rivalry, predators, and natural disaster can affect this eagle family and may be difficult to watch.”
The time of their arrival is unknown, but one detail is certain: The birds’ parents have adorable names. Soon enough, Mr. President and The First Lady will meet their offspring.
