3. CAUTION - BIRD HAZARD - The adjacent Susquehanna
River is a major attractant and corridor for movement of birds
and other wildlife near the airport. Migrant birds such as ducks,
geese, gulls, shorebirds, raptors, crows, doves, swallows,
starlings, and blackbirds pose the most potential problems
during both migration periods and resident species causing
hazards throughout the year. Air traffic controllers, ATIS and Base
Operations will keep airfield users advised of Bird Watch
Condition. Phase II activity from October through April due to
migratory and winter seasons is the most likely period of
significantly increased local bird activity.

4. Bird Watch -
a. Hill AFB (KHIF) is located 8 NM E of the Great Salt Lake,
in the Inter-Mountain West Migratory Flyway. The lake and
surrounding marshes are a major nesting area for waterfowl and
shore birds. Thousands of local and migratory birds nest on the
islands and shores of the Great Salt Lake. Birds can be expected
year round particularly in the low-level routes in and around the
Utah Test and Training Range. Use of Avian Hazard Advisory
System (AHAS) and Bird Avoidance Model (BAM) is advised. Bird
activity on the airfield is generally low, but contact Airfield
Management for current Bird Watch Condition.
(1) BASH Phase I - All months not designated as Phase
II. Bird activity is generally low during this period.
(2) BASH Phase II - In effect March through September.
Bird activity is increased during these months. Aircrews should be
aware of flocking and migratory birds near the airfield and
surrounding areas. Aircrews should follow their command
guidance during Phase II operations.
b. Bird Watch Condition - The following terminology will be
used for rapid communication to disseminate bird activity
information and implement operational procedures. Bird location
should be given with the condition code.
(1) LOW - Normal bird activity on, above or around the
airfield. Bird strike hazard is low.
(2) MODERATE - An increase in the bird population that
raises the potential for aircraft bird strikes. This condition
requires increased vigilance and caution by all agencies,
supervisors and aircrews.
(3) SEVERE - High bird population on, above and
around the active runway or other locations that represent a high
threat potential for bird strikes. Supervisors and aircrews must
thoroughly evaluate mission needs before conducting or
continuing operations during a SEVERE bird condition.
