If this doesn’t make you stand up and yell, “AMERICA, F**K YEAH!”, nothing will.

National Geographic has set up a livestream of two bald eagles watching over their recently hatched chicks high in a tree on the grounds of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Academy in Southeast D.C. According to National Geographic, the idea belonged to D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier. Here’s some more info on the patriotic pair:

The eagles are thought to be the same pair that has nested in the area for several years, said Craig Koppie, raptor biologist at the Fish & Wildlife Service’s Chesapeake Bay field office in Annapolis, Maryland, who is advising the project.

“A bald eagle nest usually contains one to three dull-white eggs, which the parents take turns incubating. Eggs hatch in about five weeks, and the eaglets start their flying lessons around the 8th week. Generally the female stays on the nest while the father’s job is to bring in the food,” Koppie said.

“I’m looking forward to watching the eaglets building their strength to fly,” Alderfer said. “They have to work those muscles, so you will be seeing them flapping their wings quite a bit before they make the leap,” he said.

According to National Geographic, the population of bald eagles in the region has steadily increased over the years, mostly due to their protected status and environmental laws banning harmful pesticides. Still, the eagles are known to eat fish out of the Anacostia River, though scientists do not yet know what the long-term harm could be.

According to the D.C. Department of Environment, there are two known bald eagle nests within city limits.
