The greatest distance from open water recorded for a bald eagle nest was over 3 km (1.9 mi), in Florida. [18] Bald eagle nests are often very large in order to compensate for size of the birds. The largest recorded nest was found in Florida in 1963, and was measured at nearly 10 feet wide and 20 feet deep. [50]
Nest in a leopardwood tree at Mutawintji National Park. Both sexes may participate in building the nest but the female takes the greater share, often standing in the middle and building outwards. [10] Often wedge-tailed eagles build alternative nest, up to 2 to 3 per territory, though when undisturbed uses the same general site repeatedly. [10]
In the Nyika Plateau of northern Malawi, the average nest spacing was 32 km (20 mi), with only one martial eagle nest recorded in an area that contained four crowned eagle nests. [173] In protected areas of west Africa, the average home range size of martial eagles is about 150 to 300 km 2 (58 to 116 sq mi). [174]
