Default Rainy day question

The wife and I spent two days on the Eastern Shore and an evening at the Knapps Narrows Marina and Inn.
We saw lots of deer, turkey, geese, bald eagles, and BUZZARDS. One section of fence posts had a buzzard on each post with their wings spread as if they were soaking up the sunshine. You could really get an idea of the size of these birds. This lead me to ponder a question, which I hope someone on the board can answer.

These birds are as large as the bald eagles we saw, yet we don't see lots of huge nests in trees. We get excited seeing an eagle nest, but where (or how) do buzzards nest? I'm puzzled, I can't find rockfish or buzzard nests. Seriously, does anyone know if they nest in trees, on the ground, or what?

Next week is looking like decent weather, I'll post fishing reports instead of dumb questions like this.
