   If I had been watching closer as the helicopter approached the two lines, I would have been phased when I saw the first man reach for the second line…. as it was, I was very unsettled thinking of distribution lines rather than transmission lines:

       98,999,999,999 – I saw one walking on the single phase power line between two poles on my street when suddenly a huge falcon swooped down and grabbed it by with its claws. The squirrel held on for a bit but the falcon’s changed its grip and finally the squirrel let of of the line and flew off into the distance with the falcon.

       Reminds me of this classic-

         Falcons like pigeons too.

           I forget if it was here or New York, but I remember a news story a few years ago about city leaders fretting over people catching and eating pigeons

           I vaguely remember it as a news story a few years ago in the NYC media.

           Those served in restaurants are not caught, but specifically raised for the purpose because US law prohibits otherwise.

           They are very tasty and I do recommend trying it if you haven’t already. My words can’t do the food justice, so here is a professional:
