Most medium to large-sized birds of prey tend to have long bonds with their mate and will use the same hunting and nesting territory year after year. These birds may have different nests in their territory and will rotate their use from year to year.

Birds build there nests everywhere from directly on the ground to the tops of trees. The Belted Kingfisher builds its nest in the bank of a river or a creek, digging it 4 ft. deep into the bank.
