One of the most famous birds in North America, the Bald Eagle, actually mate for life. Bald eagles show affection by beak kissing, bowing, snuggling, and holding feet while perched. Bald eagles imprint on their parents' vocalizations and their nesting site. This helps them find their way back to their territory and guides their choice of nesting sites for their own young.
The Daggerwing Nature Center was established in the late 1980s and was named after the native daggerwing butterfly. The nature center is within the Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park, which spans over 800 acres in Boca Raton and includes a wide range of habitats, such as wetlands, pine flatwoods and cypress swamps.
The Daggerwing Nature Center is home to a butterfly sanctuary, elevated boardwalks and hiking trails for safe viewing of birds, reptiles and mammals in their natural habitats.
