This home is almost as large as a bedroom, but it’s perched high up in a tree. It’s made of sticks and branches, and it is where our national symbol lives.
Whose house is that?
It’s an eagle!
The Bald Eagle is the national symbol of the United States. An eagle nest is called an aerie. Eagles use their nest over and over for many years, adding new sticks to the nest every year. Some nests get so large that they can be ten feet tall and weigh a thousand pounds. That’s about the weight of a horse.

This home is larger than a football. It hangs in trees, on the side of your house, or under a deck. This home holds hundreds, even thousands, of creatures inside.
Whose house is that?
It’s a wasp!
The Bald Face Hornet doesn’t have a bald face and actually isn’t a hornet. It has a white face and dark eyes, which makes it look bald. It is a kind of wasp. The home is called a nest. The nest looks like it’s made of paper, but it’s made from tiny pieces of chewed-up tree wood and the Bald Face Hornet’s saliva.
