Justice, the male, has the crucial job of catching fish and bringing them for his mate and hatchlings. ​ The eagles are an urban wildlife success story. Pollution forced bald eagles to abandon their last DC nest in 1946. In 1994, the teenage volunteers of the Earth Conservation Corps launched a bold experiment to try to spur the return of the bald eagle as a nesting resident of our Nation's Capital. Under U.S. Fish and Wildlife permits, the Corps translocated 16 eaglets from nests in Wisconsin to an artificial "hack box" at the U.S. National Arboretum. After being raised for six weeks at the Arboretum the juvenile eagles were released into the skies over Washington. Four eaglets were released every spring from 1994 to 1998. Between the eagle restoration efforts the youth of the Earth Conservation Corps galvanized the entire city in their mission to restore the eagles' Anacostia River habitat. ------- Special thanks to the MPDC and the National Park Service for their support! ------ We hold the right to revoke any name suggestions and to choose any names that may not have been suggested
