Airstrikes to bird strikes: historic island tackles new battle
Peale Island is a location where bird aircraft strike hazard specialists have chosen to attract birds on Wake Atoll, Feb. 1, 2020. The bird attracting project involves habitat management, lifelike decoys, and recordings of an active seabird colony through loudspeakers to attract birds to move across the lagoon. This is part of the atoll's vital, multi-tiered bird aircraft strike hazard program which supports mission readiness and success.
