WASHINGTON 鈥� A pair of bald eagles who are nesting at the in D.C., will be busy tending to their future family, after two eggs were laid over the weekend.

The American Eagle Foundation says the eagles, nicknamed 鈥淢r. President” and “The First Lady,” have been nesting at the National Arboretum since October 2014. Last summer, the pair successfully raised one healthy eaglet.

Viewers from around the world have been watching their pair via two . The eagles’ nest is atop a Tulip Poplar tree, surrounded by the Arboretum’s azalea collection.

“Live-streaming cameras that feature our nation’s symbol in our nation’s capital … you can’t get much more American than that,” American Eagle Foundation Founder and President Al Cerere said in a news release.聽“It’s a great addition to our Nest Cam Program and we hope it brings joy to a lot of people.”

“The First Lady” laid the first egg Feb. 10, and a second on Valentine’s Day. If all goes well, the eggs should hatch in mid-March.

The eagle-cam system at the National Arboretum is entirely solar powered by a system designed and built by students and staff from Alfred State College, School of Applied Technologies.
