The Corps of Engineers' bird dispersal specialist stays busy, working 24/7, year-round, splitting her time between the Tulsa and Chicago districts. She also happens to be a dog. Ellie, 8, is a border collie. From April to August, she prevents damage from perching and nesting seagulls and geese at the Chicago Harbor Lock and Dam. From September to March, she works at the Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam 15 in Sallisaw, Okla., dispersing double-crested cormorants, which flock to the structure in the fall and winter months. |
