or 15 to 30 small birds observable in locations that represent a
probable hazard to flying operations. This condition requires
increased vigilance by all agencies and extra caution by aircrews.
(3) SEVERE - Heavy concentrations of birds (more than
15 large or 30 small birds) on or above the runways, taxiways,
infield areas and departure or arrival routes. This condition
