Bald eagle

Description:

I was lucky to see both parents at the nest. Male and female eagles build the nest together. Both eagles will bring sticks to add to the nest structure and arrange them within the nest. The nest building activity is part of their pair bonding.

Habitat:

Spotted in a dead pine tree at the Gulf State Park. The area is mostly pine woods and coastal dune habitat.

Notes:

The nest was well known by the park.
