Scary silhouette
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – A vulture effigy dangles in the sunset from a tree by a cord. The effigy is used to scare away turkey vultures from roosting in places where they are a hazard to aircraft. A counter weight is used below the effigy to keep tension in the cord to keep the wind from pushing it into the trees. Wildlife biologists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services are tasked with implementing the Bird and Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard program here. (U.S. Air Force courtesy photo)
