SATIRE. Fiction. No real pole, camera, agency or town is described below.
A utility pole has reportedly distanced itself from the equipment bolted to its upper third, describing the arrangement as 'not something I was consulted on.'
Ornithologically speaking, this is typical. The species does not build its own nest; it selects an existing vertical structure, attaches itself, and stays.
