When I saw your post, I immediately went to google.com and searched "power lines and electrocution of raptors". There are several articles there that may be what you are looking for.

Hope that helps.

I need information regarding standards for construction of power lines which are "raptor safe", at least in terms of electrocution risk. If you know of a set of standard design specs, organizations which have prepared such specs, etc., please advise, on or off Tweeters. Thanks.
