Why is this so? Didn't they have various things to keep birds away from airports?
That is what I thought, but apparently the controls at airports have a limited effect once an aircraft lifts off. The bird strikes seemingly more often occur outside the airfield property limits. I am thinking that in some cases, migratory birds are not migrating like they use to do. For example, Canadian geese stay around mid-America all winter rather than migrating to the southern wet-lands. Presently, there is no government policy in dealing with or preventing off-airport strikes. Supposedly, the FAA is investigating potential technology to keep birds away from aircraft.
