Dave, I only was able to get a few shots a couple years ago of a night heron....lucky you! Love that red eye, it pops!!
About the trucks, Dave....two of them lift the wires from the old pole (while still HOT!) and the third one pulls the old pole out of the ground, and then drops the new pole into the hole. This time the hole was not wide enough, the pole has to be about 6 feet in the ground. One of the trucks also has a LONG auger, and it swivels into position, augers the hole bigger, then drops the new pole in....then they lift the old pole on one of those same trucks and drive it away! This one they put on my property, by the barn, as I might have a use for it. I can take as many as I want of my 3 poles, but I chose not to....I was amazed at how efficiently all this was done. Thousands of poles being replaced!!
