An Afghan falconer prepares a hand made snare trap for birds nesting near Bagram's burn pit area, March 29. Lt. Col. Charles Wallace, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing safety chief, and his team of six safety experts hired three local falconers to help clear out areas near the flightline that were swarmed with thousands of birds. After a week of work, the falconers had caught or killed more than 250 birds surrounding the flightline and have apparently scared off most of the remaining birds over the past three weeks.
