Fish represent its primary source of food. It prefers to nest in high, old-growth trees. These large birds can grow up to one metre long, have a wingspan of 2.40 m and weigh 7 kg. Interestingly, the females are generally much larger than the males. Eagles usually live to around twenty years and migrate when the water freezes. These birds mate for life and raise their young together.
