Throughout the season, and sometimes even during fall and winter, eagles keep adding sticks to the nest. Both the male and female bring nesting materials. They interweave the sticks, and fill in spaces with grasses, mosses, cornstalks, Spanish moss, and other fibers. To soften the sticks on the bottom, parents even line the nest with their own feathers. Photo: Jon McRay www.nikographer.com
