Which risk is amplified by high wing loading during sustained soaring?

💡 Explanation

High wing loading reduces a bird's agility, making it more vulnerable because small changes in airspeed arising from turbulence can critically disrupt lift via boundary layer separation; therefore the sensitivity to wind shear increases rather than maneuvering ability, because this requires more energy to correct.
