They use the same nest year after year. In this area, the eagles nest in December and January. When the female eagle lays her eggs, she and her mate incubate the eggs for at least thirty five days. Most of the time the eagles lay two eggs in their nest. The eagle's nest is made up of sticks and a mass of weeds.
Eagles use the same nest making it bigger each year.
I have been watching an eagle's nest for two years on Edisto. The nest is in a pine tree over fifty feet high. We go there and watch the eagles with binoculars. Once the eggs are hatched, the eagles stay around and feed and teach the baby eagles how to fly. At the end of the summer, the parents drive the baby eagles away.
