The eaglet, known as E9, was born in Fort Myers, Florida, at 7:33 am on Saturday, according to the real estate company hosting a webcam live stream.
E9's arrival has been highly anticipated since the hatching process began last week.
Eagle parent Harriet laid two eggs during the week of Thanksgiving, and it typically takes approximately 35 days for an eagle egg to hatch.
The second egg — E9's sibling — has yet to hatch. You can watch the live stream here.
