The DC Arboretum nest featuring Bald Eagles Mr. President and The First Lady went live on December 31, 2017—New Year's Eve! The stars of the nest visited on cue, making nestorations, fluffing up the nest bowl, and bringing in stick for the guard rails. While not making nestorations, they were perched in the nest tree, their feathers sometimes fluffed up to guard against the cold. A dusting of snow colored the ground below. Later that day, they returned again, repeating their activities from early morning - then bonding - all part of the preparations for a new nesting season. Then - the Chase!!!  And finally - a joyous conversation by these two, as they perched on a favorite limb in the nest tree, while the setting sun created beautiful colors in the sky on this the last day of the year!
