Mr. President and Lotus—a celebrity pair of bald eagles who nest in the National Arboretum—could welcome two eaglets into the world by the end of the weekend.
last month, Lotus became Mr. President’s partner after a falling-out with First Lady, with whom he’d cohabitated for eight years. Eagles usually mate for life, but they will part ways if issues arise, Rauch says. And while the two laid seven eggs together over the course of their relationship, the feathered pair spent the last few years as empty nesters—setting the scene for the breakup that followed.swooping in at 50 mph with her talons out.
Despite being a first-time mother, Lotus is “doing everything right,” Rauch says. Mr. President, he says, “is very experienced; he has no problem. But we’ll see what the look on her eagle face will be when the first chick comes—it may spook her, I don’t know. Or maybe she’ll just pause for a minute and then hormones will kick right in and she’ll start feeding.”
