It is not unusual to have them come next to the house in search of acorns.

The transformer was first installed in 1973 and was at the end of its useful life.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. RN, being an experienced sidewalk superintendent, grabbed a drink and sat back in an outdoor lounge chair to supervise.   HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

The new crossbar separates the two power lines so they don't slap together in the wind. The wider separation also prevents birds with large wingspans from shorting out the two lines. Birds shorting out lines can sometimes cause a fire.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Lifting the new transformer into place.
