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 2.9 m (9.5 ft) wide and 6.1 m (20 ft) deep. [50]
This height was recorded above the Himalayas. [2] This great height allows them to avoid eagles in mountain passes. [2] Bar-headed goose: Anser indicus: Anatidae: 8,800 metres (29,000 feet) [2] [4] [5] They also fly over the peaks of the Himalayas on their migratory path. [4] Whooper swan: Cygnus cygnus: Anatidae: 8,200 metres (27,000 feet)
Eagle is the common name for the golden eagle, bald eagle, and other birds of prey in the family of the Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related.

[66] Golden eagles occupy the mountains and coastal areas of California and Baja California in Mexico where hot, dry summers and moist winters are typical.
This is a list of the fastest flying birds in the world. A bird's velocity is necessarily variable; a hunting bird will reach much greater speeds while diving to catch prey than when flying horizontally. The bird that can achieve the greatest airspeed is the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), able to exceed 320 km/h (200 mph) in its dives.

The female harpy eagle lays two white eggs in a large stick nest, which commonly measures 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) deep and 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) across and may be used over several years. Nests are located high up in a tree, usually in the main fork, at 16 to 43 m (52 to 141 ft), depending on the stature of the local trees.
