The first eaglet hatched just after 8 a.m. Friday.

In 2014, the eagles, named Mr. President and First Lady, nestled high in a Tulip Poplar tree in the Azalea Collection at the U.S. National Arboretum, which is operated by the United States Department of Agriculture.

The first eagle, DC 1,  fledged last season.

Now DC2 and DC3 enter the world...what should their names be?
