Oh yeah, they are huge. A mated pair took up residency on their own a couple of years ago next to Eastwood Lake here in Dayton, OH. I have to pass their nesting and hunting site to get to and from work. Their nest is massive, like a leafy Volkswagen Beetle stuck in a tree.

Yes, they are huge. They use the banks of the Missouri and Kaw rivers as year round thru-ways, as well as some nesting habitat spots in some not-so-out-of-they way places.
Coolest place to see one was rising up out of Brush Creek toward Elmwood park one winter, my bank is on the opposite side of the creek on Blue River Parkway. My first thought was, is that a headless bird? (It was rising into a white sky and it was freaking HUGE.) then it changed attitude in the air and i could see some of the head features.
