For Goodness' sake, don't let any officials know that your tower is a
danger to mice, rats, rabbits and fish as well as to birds! That
REALLY will spell trouble for us!
And now, because the bird-strike thread has restarted (what is it?
about once a year?) I'll tell my story about how my tower is a threat
to the local songbirds. We have a beautiful pair of Cooper's hawks
that nest nearby, and they sometimes perch on my Yagi as a handy
lookout. (They are birds, and they don't seem to be harmed.) But
boy, you can't find a visible songbird around when they are on their
antenna. You can look up what Cooper's hawks like to eat, if you
want to.
