The idea of putting artificial sites in the large parks is great!  I wonder how far the young eagles will fly looking for an appropriate spot.

Nancy, it is true that eagles usually will defend a radius of 1-2 miles around breeding and foraging areas. They are known to occupy alternative nest sites within their breeding territory. I don't think there are many tracts of suitable habitat in populated Broward County. The idea of artificial sites in places such as some of the parks (Miramar Pineland Park comes to mind, as does Tree Tops) is not so far-fetched. The Ospreys could use some as well. If the Pembroke Pines tree were to fall, the eagles might accept a nearby artificial platform.
