How do you spot a Bald Eagle's nest?

Answer:
The very best method is to use binoculars and... looking upward, scan for the tell-tale eight- to ten-foot diameter tangle of sticks and twigs, not necessarily at the tops of trees, but near the tops. Should you happen to be also scanning cliffsides, look for the tell-tale (large AND long) white scat-droppings/drippings so prevalent below their nesting areas.
