In honor of National Bird Day on Friday, Florida Power & Light shared some images of birds that have been spotted at FPL solar energy centers across the state.
A great egret, a red-shouldered hawk and a sandhill crane have all been captured by the utility’s cameras.

The company said it’s just another example of how its solar energy centers can coexist with native flora and fauna.
The centers provide resources for wildlife, all while powering homes and businesses, FPL said.
