re http://www.unknownnews.net/040604airtraffic.html - there was also this must-read article 6 weeks ago:
"Los Angeles International Airport suffered its third power outage in 10 days Wednesday when a bird landing on a power line forced the airport to switch to a backup energy supply, officials said... less than two weeks after another bird landing on the same line caused a blackout at the airport that delayed flights for up to 11/2 hours."

"For example, if a neighboring business left a trash bin uncovered or something like that, it's possible that it could have attracted more birds," said DWP spokeswoman Carol Tucker"
