Airports and Bird Strikes?

Do any specific airports have anything to do with the large numbers in specific states? Yes, a Colorado airport for instance has over 3000 recorded bird strikes over the past decade. The locations of airports were originally set up in large spaces of empty land; although now a lot of that land is filled in with businesses and homes the birds still feel as if that land is theirs. Additionally aircraft need to be in a location where the plane can safely land/take off and while doing so they will very likely fly through paths of flocks of low-flying birds.
