How do they get down? I know when I'm up there it is a loooong way down.

Yep, there were two around last night, one would sit on my masthead until
I'd give a whack to the backstay. I've lost a few windex bits to those
things.

Every year around this time, there is an osprey that sits on the mast
heads around here.....what happens on mine is that it sits on one of my
windex arms, and when he pushes off to take flight, he moves the 'arm',
some degrees to port or starboard. I have come to accept this
aggravation as part of the overall sailing experience. However, I don't
rest until I get up the mast to make things right again. Don't know why,
you really only need wind indicator and not the 'arms' set at , say 90
degrees.
Tell tales on the sail(s) are even more responsive.

a nice red wine. Across the fairway is a sailboat with a large osprey
sitting on the masthead wind sensor. Not the Windex, the wind instrument
sensor.
Wonder if it sits on mine during the week?
Earlier I saw crows doing the same.
