These photos show birds at KBLA enjoying the guy wires
while feasting in the field between the towers. This is representative of
what I have seen during the 49 years that I have worked around broadcast
transmitter facilities. Although I read concerns about birds crashing into
towers and being killed, I have yet to see this. While I have seen birds
killed while trying to fly through the glass windows of my house, I
have never seen one have a collision with a tower. To the contrary,
the birds seem to like the tower and guy cables as a place to rest and enjoy
the view while looking for food.
