That is a lightning arrestor. Funny it arrested a blue heron!

I once found a great horned owl dead underneath a power pole, with a starling still clutched in its talons.

But my best story about such things...we were sitting in the living room one night watching TV when there was a bright blue flash outside and all the lights went out.  So we called the electric company after a little while, and they told us they were glad we called and told them about the blue flash because they were looking for a transformer failure that had knocked out power to a significant portion of the county and it sounds like our transformer, which was just off a major transmission line, might be the culprit.  They immediately showed up and one man climbed up the pole.  Sure enough, our transformer was blown, and the reason?  A big black rat snake had climbed the pole and into the transformer and shorted it out!

That was outside of Sikeston yesterday in a hurricane storm.  Must have seen something tasty and decided to peck.

Looks like toes are kinda curled too.
