Littering: a fatal mistake
May 31, 2007
Osprey 48, one of the birds from Langley's Satellite Tracking Program, became tangled in a plastic bag in a duck blind on the Little Back River in Hampton. It was likely the osprey was gathering debris from her nest when she became trapped and died of stress and starvation, according to Tom Olexa, a U.S. Department of Agriculture wildlife biologist with the 1st Fighter Wing Safety Office. The purpose of the tracking program is not only to conserve Langley's natural resources, but also to prevent bird strikes on aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tom Olexa)
