Where does a Bald Eagle build its nest and how big is it?
Bald Eagles build their nests near water and primarily in very tall trees, usually 50–150 feet (15–45 metres) tall. If they live where there are no tall trees, such as Alaska or Florida, they may build the nest on a cliff or a shorter tree. Their nests are usually about 4 to 5 feet (1.5 metres) across but have been known to be 10 feet (3 metres) across. The nest can weigh up to 1000 pounds (450 kilograms) and is so strong that a human would be able to stand in it without breaking the nest.
