Description: |
2016 NWRC Accomplishment Report Photos. Although the number of damaging wildlife strikes at airports has declined since 2000, the number of damaging strikes occurring beyond airport boundaries has gradually increased during that time. NWRC research identified Canada geese, turkey vultures, American robins, and mallards as the species most often struck by aircraft beyond airport boundaries. |
