Erik Shaffer, USDA biologist assigned to the 104th Fighter Wing , holds a bin with an injured kestrel, 104th Fighter Wing, Westfield, MA, June 25, 2026. Wildlife management is a major part of flight line safety and keeping birds out of the path of flying jets is critical. The young kestrel is now in expert care of Tom Ricardi at the Massachusetts Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Facility in Conway, MA, where he will be nursed back to health and eventually released back into the wild.
