Freedom and Liberty are not just important ideas in the United States. They are the names of two baby bald eagles in Washington, D.C. The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States. The birds are not actually bald, as the name suggests. They have white feathers covering their head. The D.C. Eagle Cam launched in February. Since then, people from 100 countries have watched the website’s live stream of the birds over 35-million times. The names, Freedom and Liberty, were chosen after 30,000 suggestions were posted on social media. One person said he voted for the names Stars and Stripes. Bald Eagle Cam viewers have seen the babies break open their eggs and grow under the care and supervision of their parents. The adults are named Mr. President and The First Lady. The baby eagles are about six weeks old. They were named at a ceremony earlier this week in the U.S. National Arboretum.
