A live webcam has been watching the nest. The second egg is likely to hatch sometime in the next few days.
The parents, dubbed "Mr. President" and "The First Lady," are the first couple to nest in the area since 1947.
The foundation says the eagles have been nesting at the arboretum since October 2014 and raised one eaglet last summer.
