1 Assessing BASH Risk Potential of Migrating and Breeding Osprey in the Mid-Atlantic Chesapeake Bay Region USAF Environmental Training Symposium Mr. Troy Andersen, 1 CES/CEVR
2 Overview The Legacy Program The Project Osprey Osprey at Langley Air Force Base (LAFB) Capturing & Fitting Transmitters Acquiring Data Local & Migratory Movement Patterns Why Is This Data Valuable? The Path Ahead
3 Stewardship Leadership Partnership Protecting and Enhancing Resources While Supporting Military Readiness
4 DoD Legacy Resource Management Program Established in 1990 Three Guiding Principles Stewardship Leadership Partnership Additional Information: Protecting and Enhancing Resources While Supporting Military Readiness
5 Proposal Criteria Regional Ecosystem Management Monitoring and Predicting Migratory Bird Patterns Wildlife Studies to Ensure Safety of Military Operations Supports Legal Requirements to Implement INRMP & BASH Pursues New Technology to Identify and Effectively Manage INRMP & BASH
6 Project Description A collaborative multi-agency (state and federal) effort where breeding adult Osprey and nestlings were livecaptured, fitted with GPS satellite transmitters, and released from selected nest locations in Back River on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay of Virginia. Movements of Osprey are tracked via the ARGOS satellite network. Movement information collected from breeding Osprey will be cross referenced to Langley Air Force Base flying operations to develop GIS-based strike-risk models.
7 Project Description Migratory patterns of Osprey will be evaluated to assess the risk of migrating Osprey to military aircraft operations along the Eastern seaboard. Expected to continue until 2008.
8 Multi-agency cooperative research effort. NWRC AHAS
9 Research Objectives Examine Osprey migration patterns in relation to military flight operations Determine airfield occurrence in relation to Osprey breeding territories Develop GIS-based Osprey strike risk models
10 Osprey (PANDION HALIAETUS) L23 x W6.3 x W3.5lbs Worldwide Distribution 13-17yr Life-Span Nest on Trees, Cliffs, and Platforms Lays 2-3 Eggs Day Incubation Period Day Nestling Period Males Providers / Females Caregivers Found Nesting Always Near Food = Water
11 Key Breeding Characteristics Established pairs nearly always return to their old nest sites Semi-colonial nesters New breeders return remarkably close to their natal/fledge sites Fidelity is dependent on courtship success Population Stability = young per nest Increasingly becoming dependent on artificial nest sites
12 Population Status and Distribution population status plummeted Pesticide DDT dramatic recovery in population status DDT Use Banned Artificial Nest Platforms Structure Enhancements Translocation Efforts
13 Breeding Population of Osprey in North America, BBS Population Index
14 Why are Osprey an aviation safety concern? 5 th most hazardous species to aircraft Increasing populations and adaptability Tolerant of human activities and traditional hazing techniques Nest sites and breeding behavior increases strike potential and FOD related incidents
15 Strike History 21 reported USAF strikes resulting $1,305,811 in aircraft damage 86 reported FAA strikes, 20% result in substantial aircraft damage or impoundment
16 Strike Case Study: Langley AFB, VA Date: 7/20/2000 Aircraft: F-15C Cost: $750,000 Class B Damage: No. 2 Inside Engine Phase of Flight: Touch and Go Effect on Flight: Engine failure emergency landing
17 Tagging Sessions Capture Objective & Techniques Adult Osprey May 2006 Six (3 female and 3 male) Modified carpet-nose Dho-gaza net Nestling Osprey July 2006 Four (2 local and 2 relocated) Hand-caught
