FPL has installed insulator covers on the top two wires of the power pole directly in front of the nest.

The insulator on top was of greatest concern as the eagles sometime roost on the poles. The next one down from the top is also very important as the distance between them is less than an eagle's wingspan.

Thank you, FPL!





The conductor covers were displaced by the hurricane and several were on the ground. Here is one which slipped over to the east. They were not reinstalled.
