Birds may use the same nest year after year, adding new nesting material each year to increase the size. Clutch size is usually two eggs incubated for 34-35 days by both parents. Young birds fly about 72-75 days after hatching. The Bald Eagle is a superb fisherman and an agile raptor, but often prefers to find food in the easiest possible way. Where it can, the Bald Eagle will rob another eagle or Osprey of its catch.
Eagles also eat other vertebrates such as ducks, coots, rabbits and rodents.
