Bowers Field Wildlife Hazard Management Plan <br /> The data were used to identify areas of highest concern based on the numbers of animals <br /> observed and the number of times a guild was observed. Both variables are important <br /> when identifying wildlife hazards. For example, a flock of 100 geese crossing the <br /> runway once is a significant hazard that one time. A pair of geese crossing the runway 50 <br /> times is a hazard 50 times. Therefore, it is critical that we not only analyze the <br /> abundance of a guild, but also how often(i.e., the frequency)the guild was present. <br /> Figure 4 shows <br /> that the north <br /> pasture area <br /> r _ attracted the <br /> highest abundance <br /> ► of hazardous <br /> NE Pasture wildlife.
