Ibamos por la Ruta del Desierto, cuando vimos algo flamear en la cima de un poste de tendido electrico de media tension. Al acercarnos vimos que se trataba de un Aguila Mora juvenil electrocutada... al bajar y acercarme el poste, al pasar los matorrales, triste fue mi sorpresa al ver otros 4 ejemplars electrocutados en el piso al pie del poste. 5 aves majestuosas en total, muertas por un error de diseño del maldito poste.
