I didn't realize what the eagle was doing in the tree until I saw him? her? fly off with a little branch. The chosen branch is clearly missing in the second photo, A little research revealed that both bald eagles of a pair gather material but the female does most of the design and construction. Their nests are quite large, up to 1.5 meters wide and nearly a meter deep.
