Dover Air Force Base
On February 1, 2000, Border Collie Rescue began a wildlife control
program contract with Dover Air Force Base. The program contract was for the
complete wildlife control package, including trained dogs and wildlife control
personnel. The following progress reports outline the program's activities
and the results of the Border Collie on bird populations and birdstrike statistics.
Monthly reports from Dover AFB are no longer readily
available on the web due to heightened security concerns. Please email
us directly if you wish to see copies of any of the reports. |
Cold Lake Air Force Base
Cold Lake Air Force Base in Alberta, Canada acquired a Border
Collie from BCR trained in the harrasment of deer, as well as birds. The early
results of their deer runway incursions are included. More data to follow.
Southwest Florida International
Airport
Southwest Florida International Airport has commissioned an
outside third-party ecological consulting group to conduct a study of the effect
that a working Border Collie has on their bird populations at the airport. Prior
to the arrival of the dog, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
conducted a year-long survey of the bird populations at the airport. The following
charts are a results of that survey, along with the results of the follow-up
study conducted by the consulting group.
