Most people don’t realize how large and powerful the American Bald Eagle is... these birds will dive almost full speed, hit a branch and rip it right off of a dead tree. The talons of a fully grown adult American Bald eagle are bigger than the average human male’s hands in size... imagine that when you see the size of some of these branches they carry back to the nest.

An American Bald Eagle makes the final approach up to the nest with a new addition. These Eagles have been working hard the past few weeks to tidy up 2 separate nests, which is a LOT of work.
