Karen A. picks up the gauntlet

Lancaster, a Harris hawk, is one of many different birds of prey owned by Keith Mutton, owner of Phoenix Bird Control, used to patrol the RAF Mildenhall flightline to disperse nuisance birds. The birds of prey play a vital role to the base; they help prevent birdstrikes, thus drastically reducing the risk of damage to, or loss of aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
