Nicholas Filippelli, USDA Wildlife Biologist, sets up a raptor bird trap, March Air Reserve Base, Calif., June 18, 2026. As part of the Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard program, Filippelli continuously monitors the airfield for wildlife activity, disperses flocks, conducts wildlife depredation, performs bird activity surveys, disease testing, and coordinates with flying units to provide bird activity heat maps and times to lower strike-incidence opportunities.
