    Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson   

    Peale Island is a location where bird aircraft strike hazard specialists have chosen to attract birds on Wake Atoll, Feb. 1, 2020. The bird attracting project involves habitat management, lifelike decoys, and recordings of an active seabird colony through loudspeakers to attract birds to move across the lagoon. This is part of the atoll's vital, multi-tiered bird aircraft strike hazard program which supports mission readiness and success. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Emily Farnsworth)
