Washington D.C. is home to two known nesting pairs of bald eagles: Mr. President and the First Lady, who have lived in a tulip poplar at the National Arboretum for the past seven years, and Liberty and Justice, who moved into a tree above the D.C. Police Academy in Southwest DC around 2005.
EZ access to the Potomac River is pivotal here...
Rivers are the lifeblood of birds of prey...
Thank you for sharing Dave

It’s been a real treat to see Eagles flying around so close to home.
I can recall so many weekends traveling around upstate NY, just to see one.
Now, if only they would fly closer to get a decent photo!

I do love photographing all birds, but I have a passion for raptors.
And so many Red-tails in Northern Manhattan.
