Power Line Sentry HAWK EYE™ Bird Flight Diverter for .25"-.68" Wire Size (50 per package) BFD-050

The tent shaped Hawk EyeTM Bird Flight Diverter is designed to prevent avian collisions with power lines, even in low light and adverse weather conditions.

Its unique winged shape provides 360-degree visibility, and its 24-hour glow-in-the-dark band combined with highly reflective mirrored yellow bands provides maximum visibility from all angles and in low light conditions. This shape and design supports research proving that contrast in low light is the most important aspect in alerting birds of hard to see objects. It is UV resistant and secure in high winds for sustained periods.

Plus, the easy snap-on system provides for a quick manual install, and zero system downtime when installed with hotstick installation tool or LineFlyTM robot. LineFlyTM robots can be placed on the conductor via drone for a safe, quick, and accurate installation.
