Yep. Most USAF bases with runways have a BASH program and some kind of BASH contractors. They do all sorts of things like monitor the height the grass should be cut and kept at, falconers to fly raptors to scare off other birds, noise making to scare birds, collecting and analysing bird strike remains, posting bird migration routes and times, etc.
All kinds of stuff to reduce bird impact hazards to aircraft...
