Public to suggest names for DC's 2 new baby bald eagles

The American Eagle Foundation is seeking the public's help naming the eaglets, temporarily named "DC2" and "DC3."

The two final names will be announced April 26.

The foundation and arboretum launched the live streaming DC Eagle Cam after the parents -- nicknamed "Mr. President" and "The First Lady" -- laid two eggs last month.

The hatching process began for the first eaglet on March 16, with the second eaglet hatching on March 20.
