There are plenty of things pilots have to watch for in the sky…
…and birds are one of them.
Bird strikes are a real aviation concern, which is why airports take wildlife management seriously.
At DeKalb County Airport, managing wildlife is part of keeping our airport environment safe for the pilots and aircraft that use it. During the fall, migrating birds create an ever changing hazard for aircraft as they group up for their trek south. This time of year also sees the young resident canada geese landing in the wide open fields of the airport. We go through a "training" period every year until they learn that this is not a safe enviorinment. Other birds that we normally don't see can show up such as sea gulls and ducks.
So if you see us keeping an eye on the birds around the airport…there’s a reason!
