Keep a constant scan for birds visually. Tegucigalpa, Honduras has hundreds of turkey buzzards in the valley and the only way to avoid them is visually. Our airline had several 757's grounded there with bird strikes through the engine or caught in the LED causing damage. The Hudson river incident probably wouldn't have happened if one pilot was scanning for birds.
