Following its sibling’s furry debut yesterday, the eaglet known as “DC5” is beginning to hatch at the National Arboretum.

American Eagle Foundation officials noticed the bird made the first hole, or “pip,” in its shell this morning around 6:15 a.m., says foundation spokesperson Julia Cecere, adding that it should take anywhere between 12 to 48 hours for this eaglet to fully hatch.

There were about 21 hours between the time DC4 made its first hole to when it fully emerged from its shell.

The pair of eaglets are offspring to the bald eagles Mr. President and The First Lady, who started incubating the eggs last month in a nest on top of a Tulip Poplar tree at the Arboretum. The foundation relaunched an upgraded DC Eagle Cam last year so that people can follow the eagles’ journey. Over the course of five months in 2016, more than 60 million viewers tuned in.

Eagle pairs typically lay one to three eggs annually, according to the foundation. Mr. President and The First Lady also hatched one egg in 2015 and two last year.

The public will have a chance to vote on permanent names for DC4 and DC5 in the coming weeks.

UPDATE: American Eagle Foundation officials say that DC5 is nearly hatched as of 1:37 p.m. on Thursday.
