Here's a super close up picture of the same highmast found here but at 12X zoom instead of 3 and without in need to crop the picture! (click on the picture for amazing close up!)
Although I had to lower it from 12 MP to 3 MP to be able to post this pic in this page.
We have different sorts of birds around Darren, including those vultures, I know what we have is called Black Turkey Vultures ....they tend to sit on streetlights (and are sometimes BIGGER than the streetlights themselves) and wait for a road kill....they don't KILL animals....WE kill poor furry animals FOR THEM, and when we do, they will eat them...when fully dead.....they don't attack, just harvest dead animals! I actually have a picture I took from my phone (kinda blurry) of a few of those feeding on a dead deer!
I looked at the glass upclose and yes they are indeed M1000 glass, although its hard to see the GE logo. The logo is on the street side of the refractor on this particular pattern design. They could be old GE high masts, but I still can't confirm yet.
dude, Joe! I agree it is a GE it even has same design!!!
Form109...its not exactly because its unique....its cuz its old and one of the earliest highmasts...Highmasts came out in 1966 or 1968...thats when they were invented.....and this one here is from 1970....so they were still fairly new technology! Its one of the few oldest highmasts...older design too....

I doubt they were Mercury Vapor but they probably WERE Metal halide. As they glowed white. And were bright.
