Eaglet hatches at U.S. National Arboretum in D.C.
The new eaglet is known as DC9 because it is the ninth egg to hatch in the nest. The sibling that died Saturday shortly after hatching was called DC8. DC9 started to hatch Sunday, a process that typically takes 24 to 36 hours.
Eagles take turns incubating their eggs, and at times the pair were seen eating fish together in the nest and taking turns sitting on the eggs.Officials at the arboretum said Monday that they noticed DC8 was “not acting in a normal way” after it hatched and had not lifted its head, sat up or extended its toes. It also had some breathing trouble.
They had trouble producing offspring after that for three seasons, and, eventually, First Lady left and Lotus moved in. She and Mr. P have become a good pair and good parents, according to Rauch.
