Avian Monitoring and Risk Assessment at the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Area

摘要: The primary objective of this study at the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Area was to estimate and compare bird utilization, fatality rates, risk index among factors including taxonomic groups, wind turbine reference areas, sizes types, geographic locations. key questions addressed meet include: (1) Are there any differences in level activity, called ''utilization rate'' or ''use'', with operating plant within surrounding undeveloped areas (reference area)?; (2) rate fatalities (or avian fatality) (3) Does use, vary according location, type size turbine, and/or (4) How do raptor rates other projects comparable data?
