[TowerTalk] birds on the elements

[Mike]

I had a plastic owl on my mast and not a lot of birds. Lightning blew the eyes out of 
it, and when I repaired the damage to the beam, I didn't put it back up. About the 
same amount of birds.

I got mine at a hunter supply store.

Now for finding true north, it can't be beat.
