First I thought that it was some super milatary installation but I was told recently it was keep track of birds!!! There are two fast moving rotating antenna, horizontal and vertical and a large trailer that is manned. FOR BIRDS?
I am looking into it further because I can't belive this is for birds. I had to look at this hideous thing all summer.

I'm pretty sure they are not tracking birds.

There are certain blocks of induhviduals who will spend more on birds than their own safety.....................Sandman is most likely right

I noticed those last week and wondered what they were for. Sure takes away from the beauty of that place.

Sandman, is that where you caught the king? I caught one 2 years ago in that general area.

If you think that takes away from the beauty of the place, wait till you have 130 windmills each the size of the statue of liberty parked in nantucket sound along with a giant transformer.

King was caught in the vincinity of the hooter.
