An adult Red-tailed Hawk perches on an airfield sign, near the 167th Airlift Wing, Shepherd Field, Martinsburg, West Virginia, Sept. 30, 2022. Due to development in the area surrounding the airfield, more raptors are coming on to the airfield. The USDA works to mitigate the safety concerns the raptors pose to air traffic by trapping and relocating them. (photo courtesy of Travis Flanagan, USDA)
