I echo K3ND's experience. Lots of 200 footers. Biggest birds to sit on
them were red tailed hawks. They always sat on the boom or the top of the
tower. Some bird crap, but that was it. They sometimes flew off when I
climbed, sometimes they didn't. But never they bothered me in any way.
Although it was rather unnerving to see one about ten feet away 90 feet up on
the tower sitting on the boom as I went up the tower.
I think most of them thought of the towers as dead trees where they would
get a good look around for dinner below. One side benefit.....I never
worried about snakes when I walked around the yard, the hawks took care of
that.
I hope I have them around at my new QTH in FL.
