GRAPHICAL DISPLAY FOR BIRD OR BAT DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
An automated system for mitigating risk from a wind farm. The automated system may include an array of a plurality of image capturing devices independently mounted in a wind farm. The array may include a plurality of low resolution cameras and at least one high resolution camera. The plurality of low resolution cameras may be interconnected and may detect a spherical field surrounding the wind farm. A server is in communication with the array of image capturing devices. The server may automatically analyze images to classify an airborne object captured by the array of image capturing devices in response to receiving the images.

8 . The graphical user interface of claim 7 , wherein the remote server is in communication with a radar system proximate at least one high resolution camera; and
the remote server initiates the radar system to determine a location and travel trajectory of the airborne object.
9 . The graphical user interface of claim 8 , wherein the application program window displays a graphical representation of the location and the travel trajectory of the airborne object within the protected area.
10 . The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the application program window displays a graphical representation of an alert status of the airborne object based at least in part on an alert threshold.
11 . The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the remote server initiates curtailment activities of the protected area based at least in part on a real-time location of the airborne object, wherein the application program window displays the curtailment activities.
12 . The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the application program window displays meteorological information pertaining to the protected area.
13 . The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the protected area is a first protected area and the application program window changes the display device to a second protected area.
14 . The graphical user interface of claim 13 , wherein the application program window display alternates between the first protected area and the second protected area.
15 . The graphical user interface of claim 14 , wherein the application program window prioritizes the display device to present an event occurring at one of the first protected area or the second protected area.
16 . A graphical user interface produced by an application program operating on a computing device having a display device associated therewith, comprising:
an application program window presented on the at least one display device, said application program window being generated by the application program operating on the computing device;
wherein the application program window displays a real-time graphical representation of a wind farm, the real-time graphical representation received by the application program from a remote server over a network;
the remote server receiving real-time location information from a radar system proximate the wind farm, wherein the application program window displays an airborne object located in real-time on the display device;
wherein the application program classifies the airborne object as an airborne animal and generates an event based at least in part on a classification.
17 . The graphical user interface of claim 16 , wherein the remote server initiates curtailment activities of the wind farm based at least in part on a real-time location of the airborne object, wherein the application program window displays the curtailment activities.
18 . The graphical user interface of claim 16 , wherein the remote server initiates curtailment activities of the wind farm based at least in part on a real-time location of the airborne object, wherein the application program window displays the curtailment activities.
19 . The graphical user interface of claim 18 , wherein the application program updates the real-time location and trajectory information of the airborne animal as the airborne animal moves through the wind farm.
