It seems that there have been over 900 bird strikes with in Hawai‘i over the past five years. Over the past few years, I have noticed stepped up efforts by Wildlife Control Officers at HNL, riding in their pickup trucks, patrolling the taxiways of HNL. On a few occasions, I have heard shotgun blasts in the Reef Runway area to scare away birds.
We all know the dangers of bird strikes, especially the miracle landing of the US Airways A320 out of LGA.
Today's Honolulu Advertiser is running an article about it.
