3 Challenge Overview Terminal B
4 Challenge Overview Terminal C
5 Challenge Overview Terminal B, 2006
6 DFW Airport Overview DFW Airport is located in Texas along a major path of the Central Flyway- one of four North American migratory bird routes. Migratory species in addition to year round residents pose a challenge for the airport. Migration-Flyways.htm
7 DFW Airport Overview 18,000+ acres Fifty five percent of land area is developed. Operations numbers typically exceed 600,000 flights annually.
8 DFW Airport Overview Birds, migratory and resident, pose the biggest wildlife challenge Contributing attractants to bird activity are human activity and development: Construction Mowing operations Leaseholders Employees Surrounding development
9 DFW Airport Design Original design and landscape scheme contributes to bird challenges Live Oaks central to original landscape theme in Developed Areas, including Terminals A, B, C, and E Live Oaks green year round B D A C E
10 DFW Airport Design DFW Airport s landscape designed to be aesthetically pleasing to customers Birds find it attractive too
11 Winter time Roosting Activity Roosting blackbirds attracted to the area seasonally, during the winter months Protection/shelter Bird populations increased over the years
12 Deterrent methods Deterrent methods tried: Fake snakes Lights Netting Limb clearing/thinning Pyrotechnics Deterrent methods not tried: Grape Fog Lasers Compressed Air/Water Tree removal
13 An Alternate Method 2007 contact with a Master Falconer with a proposal to assist
14 Why Falconry? Natural Biological method Operational deployment timing optimal Environmentally green- no chemicals Minimal noise/intrusion Positive favorable results Public response favorable Prey is consumed or donated Beta test was scheduled
15 Beta Test Beta Test scheduled for December in Terminal B. Used specific, controlled area for operational coordination Communication Collaboration Coordination with Customer Service, Parking, DPS, Tower, Airport Ops Center, Airfield Ops
16 Blackbirds staging, pre-falconry, December 3, 2007 Terminal B- before abatement. Staging occurs over open elevated surfaces and structures before heading to the terminal s trees to roost.
17 Before Falconry, December 3, 2007 Terminal B- before abatement. Thousands of blackbirds stage on the roof over B23 before heading to the terminal s trees to roost.
18 Beta Test Operations Operational procedures
19 Beta Test Results Roost activity and density levels monitored in Terminal B at dusk each day during week of Beta Test. Notable observations were: Overall numbers decreased through the course of the week, gradually at first and then dramatically toward the end of the week. Roost behavior during staging changed. Birds appeared agitated. Time to perform operation and disperse birds decreased with each day, from one hour duration on night 1, to 20 minutes on night 4. No birds were present to disperse on night 5. By December 7 th, roosting birds no longer appeared over Terminal roof to stage and then enter trees to roost. No birds were detected during that night s operation. Falconers returned on December 13 th to determine roost population density. No birds were seen or heard. CTA monitored on December 14 th and again on December 19th, both at dawn. No birds were seen or heard in any Terminal.
20 Beta Test Results Terminal B, December 14, Post abatement.
21 Full Deployment of Nighttime Falconry Contracted with Falconer for 2008/2009 roosting season. Deployment began November 3, 2008 to cover all Terminals. Concentrated in Terminal B again, till activity levels subsided, for 3 nights. Birds, and Operation moved to Terminal A, and followed areas of heaviest bird activity each night. Nov 6-9 Nov 9-12 Nov 8-13 Nov 3-6
22 Nighttime Falconry Outcomes No measurable roost returns occurred during the 2008/2009 roosting season. Several small populations of return (or new), roosts addressed with spotlights and brief hawking operations. Contract extended to include nest removal from Terminal trees. To date, small quiet groups of birds have returned to the Terminals.
23 Nighttime Falconry Outcomes 08/09 season: 59 birds were taken by five hawks 70 hours used 09/10 season: 27 birds were taken by four hawks 122 hours used, less than 40 spent on Hawking Operations** 10/11 season: 3 birds taken with four hawks 90 hours used, 14 spent on Hawking Operations** **Note: included is monitoring activities. Spring/summer nest removal added to 10/ 11 and subsequent contracts
24 To Date, Post Abatement Activity Repeat Operations minimal Unconfirmed if new seasonal activity is returns or new migrating birds but believe they are return roosting blackbirds, due to behavior. Night time falconry continues seasonally, but flocks are addressed immediately and roosts do not persist.
25 Pros and Cons of Falconry Pros: Effective Lasting Results Economical Natural deterrent Low profile operation Uses contract personnel for seasonal needs Increases interest in airport wildlife issues Cons: Weather dependant Hawks are not tame pets Hawks ineffective during molting Permitting process
