Eagles usually have two chicks per season and they stay in the nest until they are as big as the parents.

EAGLES NEST (after 2 years)

EAGLES USUALLY COME BACK TO THE SAME NEST EVERY YEAR.  THEY ARE CONTINUOUSLY ADDING NESTING MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL STICKS INTO IT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.  OLDER NESTS CAN WEIGH A HALF TON OR MORE.
