UPDATE: "Freedom" had flown the coop!

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two eaglets have hatched at the bald eagle nest at the National Arboretum. And anticipation as we've watched the #dceaglecam has been replaced with ridiculous adorableness.

A bald eagle clutch typically includes two eggs. The little eagles will likely be on cam for awhile — the nest period is typically more than 2 months.

You can watch live on the DCEagleCam as the new eaglets experience everything for the first time.

Pro tip (after days of watching): Don't forget "Cam B." When we were looking for cracks in the eggs, it wasn't the best shot. But Cam B has provided some great group shots around the nest.

The first eaglet came out of its shell Friday morning. The second shell was cracking by a mid-day feeding on Saturday and two baby birds were keeping their parents busy by Sunday morning.

It was a long journey — and the world watched — as the the first egg shell cracked late Wednesday. Thursday night, we saw the beak and by 9 a.m. Friday, a fully hatched eaglet was visible.

"Overwhelmed by all the attention and a bit camera-shy!" the arboretum's Twitter account said. "Will continue to rest and wriggle."

Social media posts appeared from schools, newsrooms and offices around the country showing people watching the eagle tend to its new young.

We've watched as a plastic bag flew into the next, and blew away. And we've seen lots (and lots) of fresh fish fed to the baby birds.

Two bald eagle parents, named "Mr. President" and "The First Lady," returned to their nest at the arboretum in October to fortify their nest. The first egg was laid on Feb. 10 and the second followed on Feb. 14.

The pair of eagles were first at the site last year, successfully raising one eaglet. They're the first bald eagles to nest at the arboretum since 1947, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The webcam is maintained through a partnership between the National Arboretum and the American Eagle Foundation.

Arboretum and AEF staff installed two HD video cameras near last year’s nest, using a half mile of fiber optic cable and installing a large solar array to power the equipment, according to the USDA.
