I certainly saw it every day. It makes perfect sense: the largest biodiversity is usually found where two habitats meet -- around the edges. Power transmission lines are essentially edges, at least in New England, where they are usually fields cut through the woods.<br /><br />They are also not visited by humans very often, so they are become known as safe havens. Sure, the pylons aren't pretty, but tell that to the raptors that use them for hunting and nesting platforms.Bill Fosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187927183252273258noreply@blogger.com
