American Bald Eagle on the nest
These eagles have been nesting at Lake Wooddruff Preserver for many years judging by the size of the nest. American Bald Eagles mate for life and use the same nest each year unless the nest has been destroyed or the tree dies and becomes unsafe. When mating season start they return to the nest and start repairing and adding to the nest. This results in the nest becoming quite large. The largest on record, according to Guinness Book of World Records, was found near St. Petersburg Florida and measured 9ft wide by 20ft deep and weighed more that 2 tons.
