[TowerTalk] Fwd: Plastic Owls

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I echo K3ND's experience.  Lots of 200 footers.  Biggest  birds to sit on 
them were red tailed hawks.  They always sat on the boom or  the top of the 
tower.  Some bird crap, but that was it.   They sometimes flew off when I 
climbed, sometimes they didn't.  But  never they bothered me in any way.  
Although it was rather unnerving to see  one about ten feet away 90 feet up on 
the tower sitting on the boom as I went up  the tower.
 
I think most of them thought of the towers as dead trees where they  would 
get a good look around for dinner below.  One side benefit.....I  never 
worried about snakes when I walked around the yard, the hawks took care of  that.
 
I hope I have them around at my new QTH in FL.
