If a bird strike happens to occur, the Vance Safety Office and USDA Wildlife Biologist Aaron Betts, uses a biohazard kit to collect a sample of the fowl and sends it to the Smithsonian for identification. Bird migration changes the airfield management demands. At Vance Air Force Base there is a higher risk during the winter as more than 10,000 Canada geese migrate to the Enid area.
