One last screen shot for today that I just had to post, of ECC3, who hatched on March 17, and ECC4, on March 19. Monday, when the youngest eaglet tried to get its first bit of food, its older (by two days) sibling kept pecking it in the back. Tuesday, the baby started nipping the older one in the back and got something to eat from Liberty.
The parents, Liberty and Justice, have a nest on the police academy grounds by the Anacostia River, and two eaglets hatched between March 17 and 20.
Liberty and Justice built their nest in 2005 and have raised one or two young every year since. They were named by former Police Chief Cathy Lanier, on the day of the Boston Bombing. She called a press conference at the eagle's nest to name them.
