When do bald eagles use their nest.

Do Bald Eagles use thier nests outside of raising their young?

I have only seen Bald Eagles use the nest during the breeding season. That is when they refurbish an existing nest (or build a new one), mate, lay eggs, incubate and raise their young. They do not seem to go to them at other times of the year.

Why would they need them any other time of the year?

I figured so but the size of their nest amazes me. I've heard they reuse the same nest though.
