Bald Eagle Babies and a FREEBIE!

Have you met the other 'Mr. President' and 'The First Lady'? They are two bald eagles from Washington D.C., who have mated and now we get to watch their every move on this LIVE video feed.  Their first egg already hatched on March 16th  and hopefully, you'll be able watch the second egg hatch this weekend.
