Vote on names for the new DC eaglets – the finals begin

WASHINGTON — The process of picking names for the two new eaglets at the National Arboretum is down to the final four pairs, and it’s time for the public to make the selection.

The American Eagle Foundation, which operates the D.C. Eagle Cam, announced Monday that voting has begun to name the eaglets currently known as DC4 and DC5.

The finalists, chosen through a social-media hashtag campaign last week:

  • Stars and Stripes
  • Honor and Glory
  • Peace and Harmony
  • Anacostia and Potomac

There’s a link to the ballot on the Eagle Cam website. You can vote through Sunday; the names will be announced May 3 at the Arboretum.
