Two brand-new bald eagle hatchlings came into the world in Californias San Bernardino National Forest under the watchful eye of their attentive parents and a camera.

Eagle One arrived Sunday morning at 9:57 a.m. local time, and the little birds sibling struggled out of its egg shortly after noon on Monday.

The nest is located near Big Bear Lake on land managed by the U.S. Forest Service. A large area around the nest has been closed to the public. The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley installed the livestream nest cam with the support of the park.
