A pair of bald eagles known as “Mr President” and “the First Lady” welcomed their first eaglet on Friday in Washington’s National Arboretum.
An “eagle cam” provided live footage of the first bald eagles to nest since 1947 in the Arboretum, a park-like conservatory in northeast Washington.
The first egg was laid on February 10 and the other on February 14.
The first egg hatched early on Friday and the other is expected to hatch later this month.
The pair built their nest in a tulip poplar tree in 2015. The federally protected bird, or Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is featured on currency and in the presidential seal, and was adopted as the national US bird symbol in 1782.
The bald eagle almost disappeared from the US decades ago, but habitat protection and the banning of the pesticide DDT led to its recovery.
The bird was removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007.
