on top of my 140ft high 40M Yagi.  As a result the Yagi and top of the 
tower are totally white on top!  This would really be a blessing if 
someone knows how to get rid of them, short of shooting them all, which 
I cannot do for safety reasons.

    Yes, please do not shoot at them. Dick, XE2DV/W7ZR, shot at the birds on 
his CC 402CD and made a bulls-eye on the driven element which proceeded to 
fall to the ground. Good shot, Dick!
