Some things just don’t mix – such as eagles and electrical transmission lines. Somehow these birds of prey have found a connection, often building their nests of sticks and small branches atop transmission structures. But nesting at these locations also comes with a risk. If a raptor or other bird connects with a transmission line, depending on the size, they may be electrocuted and/or damage the transmission line. “We want to protect and deter them from nesting in dangerous locations and keep the line or structure from having to be repaired,” says Ryan King, environmental coordinator at Basin Electric.
