Like most birds, bald eagles build nests in trees. However, their nests are so heavy that they can easily break those trees. A typical bald eagle nest has a diameter of up to 5 feet and is up to 6 feet deep. The biggest nest ever discovered was in Florida in the ’60s, and it had a diameter of 9.6 feet, depth of 20 feet, and weighed 2.2 tons. Another one found in Ohio in 120s weighed around 2 tons and had an 8.5 feet diameter and 12 feet depth.

In order to build such a massive nest, bald eagles need to work on it consistently over a long period of time. They use the same nest for years and constantly add new material to it. The 2-ton Ohio nest was estimated to be around 35 years old when it fell from a tree.

“Here is something you don’t see every day: a #baldeagle and a red #fox fighting over a rabbit — and at times more than 20 feet up into the air. It happened Saturday at #SanJuanIsland National Historical Park. The fox caught the rabbit and the eagle tried to steal it away. See the whole sequence of images and hear the story on my blog at LivingWilderness.com. Click blog. It was absolutely incredible to see. The whole battle lasted just eight seconds. The fox ended up OK, but lost its dinner,” Ebi wrote along the photo he posted on Instagram.

He wrote about it in more detail on his blog, livingwilderness, where you can also see more pictures.

The awesome scene was also captured on video by Zachary Hartje and you can check it out below.
