16-year-old Garrett Southers is one of 10 people awarded the Eagle Award each year from the Alabama State Parks. He won the award from his Eagle Project with the Boy Scouts, where he installed five osprey nesting platforms around Lake Guntersville State Park.
The idea originally came from Michael Ezell, the naturalist for the park at the time, who suggested either that or re-painting and re-finishing his classroom. Southers liked the osprey idea better and decided to go forward with that project.
The osprey around the park had begun nesting in areas where they couldnât be easily viewed by visitors. These nesting platforms would hopefully allow park visitors to be able to see the bird and its nest.
