Turbines. They tend to be in migration routes (in TX) and where updrafts attract raptors (in California). Planes actively avoid birds and seek to scare them away from airports as they present a danger to the craft.

Arrested for Firing Warning Shot to Save Daughter A Shep would have told her to roll into a ball on the ground and let them beat her. Remember when we were told by Joe Biden, head of Obama’s gun task force, to scare off the bad guys by firing a gun in the air? As we have seen before, you will be arrested if you follow his advice: A Woodbridge [VA] woman was arrested after she shot a handgun into the air to scare off a group of boys who were attacking her daughter. Lakisha Gaither, 35, said she fired a single round into the sky from her legally owned gun Saturday night after a boy punched her daughter in the face during a dispute near their home. “I just wanted this group of guys to disperse,” Ms. Gaither said. “I didn’t know what they were going to do. I wanted him to stop hitting my child.” The shooting occurred at 9:20 p.m. in the 13600 block of Cridercrest Place. After confronting a teenage girl and her mother in the neighborhood over a prior disagreement, Ms. Gaither and her 15-year-old daughter, Brianna Stewart, began walking home. A group of about 10 boys approached them in the parking lot of their apartment complex. One boy began to swear and insult Ms. Gaither and her daughter, who stood up to the boy. As usual, the racial composition of the mob is left to readers’ imaginations. But Brianna turned out to be black, so the mob was also or the story would have been on front pages nationwide. “The two were face to face,” Ms. Gaither said. “He grabs her shirt, she goes to push him off her.” Ms. Gaither said she realized she’d be putting the both of them at risk if she jumped into the fray. “I stopped and turned to walk to the middle of the parking lot. I made sure no one was around me,” she said. “I unholstered my gun, pointed it straight in the air and fired just one shot to get him off my child.” Ms. Gaither said she didn’t try to get away, and police eventually arrived. She was arrested for preventing the mob from beating her child. But at least the cops have a sense of humor: Prince William County police spokesman Officer Jonathan L. Perok said Ms. Gaither “should have called police instead of taking matters into her own hands.” Assuming she had had a phone with her (which she did not), the cops would have been highly unlikely to arrive while her daughter was still conscious. Now Brianna is missing. Let’s hope the police aren’t too busy booking people like her mom to find out what happened to her. Very possibly, the same mob of goons got to her when there was no one around with a gun to defend her. Brianna Stewart, missing. moonbattery.com
