(AP) -- Three planes have reported bird strikes within a one-hour period at New York's LaGuardia Airport.
WABC says all three planes were arriving and landed safely without any damage. No injuries are reported.
The incidents occurred from around 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.
Just five months ago, passengers on a JetBlue flight to Palm Beach encountered a bird strike just moments after taking off. They were forced to make an emergency landing at nearby John F. Kennedy International Airport. In 2012, two birds smashed into the windshield of another JetBlue flight. It was also forced to make an emergency landing.
