Honor and Glory, Mr. President & The First Lady 2017

All photos (screenshots), unless otherwise indicated, are copyright American Eagle Foundation 2017, www.dceaglecam.org.

Mr. President and The First Lady are bald eagles that nest each year in the National Arboretum in Washington, DC. The American Eagle Foundation sponsors and monitors 2 webcams that capture activities on and around the nest. From Jan. through July 2017 I watched off and on while the parents rebuilt the nest, TFL laid two eggs, and raised two eaglets which became known as "Honor" and "Glory."
