Watch Live: 2nd Eaglet About To Hatch On DC Bald Eagle Cam

WASHINGTON, DC -- It's time for eagle-mania in the D.C. area once again, as everyone eagerly awaits the second eaglet hatching under the watchful eye of the DC Bald Eagle Cam, which you can watch here. It is also embedded below.

The first eaglet hatched Saturday in the nest high about the D.C. Police Department Training Academy in Southeast. The second eaglet "pipped," or started to break through its shell, early Sunday morning. Generally, it takes about 48 hours for the eaglet to fully break through the shell, according to the Earth Conservation Corps responsible for operating the live camera.

The eaglets are the offspring of Liberty (female) and Justice (male), two bald eagles who have been nesting in that same location since 2004. The first egg was laid Feb. 7. The eagles lay one to two eggs every year.

"The Earth Conservation Corps started in 1992 with nine troublesome youth from Southeast D.C’s housing projects," according to the organization's statement. "They banded together to overcome a common concern, the destruction of the environment. Their mission was to reclaim one of the most degraded rivers in the country, the Anacostia. Starting in the Lower Beaver Dam creek removing hundreds of tires, to returning the bald eagle to the Nation's Capital in 1994, the corps members have fought tirelessly to restore and ensure protection for their backyard. Today the corps continues this mission of educating Washington, DC’s youth about the Anacostia river and its inhabitants."
