WASHINGTON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A second, tiny bald eagle has hatched in a nest at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington.

The first eaglet hatched Friday. The second emerged early Sunday.

Daniel Rauch, a wildlife biologist at the District's Department of Energy and Environment, says the second eagle hatched at about 3 a.m.

The American Eagle Foundation and arboretum launched the live streaming D.C. Eagle Cam after the parents —nicknamed "Mr. President" and "The First Lady" — laid two eggs last month.

The foundation says the eagles have been nesting at the U.S. National Arboretum since October 2014 and raised one eaglet last summer.

Monday morning one of the parent eagles could be seen eating and then feeding the baby chicks.
