Falcons work to increase safety during take-off and landing

When you think of how many employees at airports keep your flight smoothly running, you probably don't consider a bird in that list. Yet more and more airports are employing falcons to keep their airspace safe. Most other birds are scared of this predator and will stay away, making them less likely to collide with aircraft on take-off and landing.
