I have hawks on my 45G tower often. I have a work platform but I don't 
recall seeing them
use it. They use the antennas and the guy attachments (of all things). 
Fortunately, they don't
seem interested in nesting on the tower.

A rohn work platform perhaps? For a mast, it would only need a u-bolt.

A pair of red-shouldered hawks have constructed and are sitting a nest
in a pine tree in the front yard of house down the street from me.

They are very likely the same pair that damaged my C3E 20m
reflector--one or both perched on the element on one side or the other
of the boom breaking the element-boom rivets.

Since they regularly use my mast and less often my C3E to perch, I got
to thinking that if they nested on the tower top, maybe they would do
their perching elsewhere other than the C3E.

Has anyone ever put up a platform suitable for nest-building
(low-walled, holed for drainage, etc.) on the top of their mast?
