This photo is reminiscent of the old roadkill series of photographs I have taken. Unlike the roadkill, this bird suffered a less fortunate death – in my opinion – when it conducted an electrical current over 7000 volts strong. This birds death disrupted a main segment of the local grid causing a breaker to trip in a nearby substation, leaving over 4000 residents or businesses in the area without power for about two hours.
