Bald eagle hatching on St. Patrick's Day

Obviously not a picture I took, but a screen shot of a not-too-clear video of this bald eagle hatching today, March 17, with its mother’s claw and beak in view.

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.

The eagle cam feed can be found at http://www.eaglecam.org

The other eagle cam nest in DC, at the National Arboretum, has the parents but no eggs yet, which has eagle fans a bit worried.

Good tidings. We have spotted eagles and a pair of ospreys in our area, but there are no cams nearby. It is amazing to see birds hatch.
