Bald Eagle nest

May 31st, 2010

Last weekend, I observed two different nests of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) from the canoe, on the shores of Snafu Lake (Yukon). Their nests are incredibly huge, the bald eagle builds the largest nest of any North American bird.

In the first nest, a bald eagle seemed to be sitting on his eggs:

In the second one, a bald eagle was coming and going from the nest:
