The Animal Services deputies worked with the utility employees to hatch a plan to safely relocate the eggs so the new pole could be installed.
Workers installed a birdhouse atop the new pole, ensuring the house was pointing in the same direction as the nest on the old pole.
The workers and deputies then carefully moved the nest from the old pole to the new birdhouse.
"The old pole is gone, the nest was not compromised, and Jensen Beach should soon be home to some new baby owls," the sheriff's office said on Facebook.
