Exposure of bird migration concentration areas to potential wind development is shown for (A) wetland birds, (C) riparian birds, (E) raptors, and (G) sparse grassland birds.

, 2013
Exposure classes in each map are followed by the percent of the state occurring in that class. Uncertainty in exposure is represented by the standard deviation in exposure among the full and partial models for each bird group and is shown for (B) wetland
