KERA News-FM (Dallas, Texas, July 7) -- On a recent morning, airfield operations employee Larry Creel spots a potential problem, and alerts Cathy Boyles, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport’s wildlife biologist. Boyles’ job is to keep birds and other wildlife -- the occasional coyote or deer -- away from aircraft. Boyles uses a mobile avian radar lab designed at the U. of I. that transmits images that assist in locating and dispersing birds near the airport’s flight paths.
