IIRC I thought I read in one thread (Maybe on the EVO site) that baby eagles live in Nests, but when they grow up, they live in a Den.

Technically a "den" is anywhere a wild animal takes shelter.

A quote from paula on evo

. Some place by a person in July had a brain child, cal it the "Den" for grown up Eagle members. We acted out of concern to save the nest period.
