I have OWLS in the night and Turkey Vultures in the morning perched drying
there wings in preparation to Soaring flight.
Both are protected be law the Vultures use to short out the loading wire on
the High Gain 3 element 40 ( I turned the element side ways 90 degres that
helped but caused an icing dilemma ! as for the OWL cast.... there tough to
remove once hardened on the tower rungs 😞

I have Great Horned Owls that hang out on my tower's . They'll have a
who off in the mornings just before sunrise.
They leave presents at the base of my towers, normally the fur of an
eaten mouse. One of them decided to perch on a 15m element and the
element lost.
