Watch Live: 2nd Egg Laid In DC Bald Eagle Nest

WASHINGTON, DC -- D.C.'s famous bald eagle couple Liberty and Justice have laid their second egg in 2018, the Earth Conservation Corps announced in a statement. You can watch the nest live at EagleCam.org, or in the video embedded at the bottom of this post.

Libery (female) and Justice (male) have been nesting 110 feet above the Metropolitan Police Department Training Academy in Southeast since 2004, and have laid one to two eggs each year since then.

Last year, Liberty laid the first egg Feb. 4 and the second Feb. 7, with a healthy eaglet -- named "Spirit" -- hatching in mid-March (the second egg did not hatch).

"The eagles are an urban wildlife success story," states the organization's website. "Pollution forced bald eagles to abandon their last DC nest in 1946. In 1994, the teenage volunteers of the Earth Conservation Corps launched a bold experiment to try to spur the return of the bald eagle as a nesting resident of our Nation's Capital.

"Under U.S. Fish and Wildlife permits, the Corps translocated 16 eaglets from nests in Wisconsin to an artificial "hack box" at the U.S. National Arboretum. After being raised for six weeks at the Arboretum the juvenile eagles were released into the skies over Washington. Four eaglets were released every spring from 1994 to 1998. Between the eagle restoration efforts the youth of the Earth Conservation Corps galvanized the entire city in their mission to restore the eagles' Anacostia River habitat."
