Our lines are mostly above ground (too difficult if buried when the
ground freezes in winter) so we have many power poles and fairly
frequently birds do electrocute themselves Plus the eagles love
to build their nests on them. Often the power company will put up one
next to the power pole and shift the nest on to that platform, they
don't mind and stay there
