Which risk increases when a soaring bird remains aloft during rapid cloud formation?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic wing ice accumulation is likely in rapid cloud formation because supercooled water droplets rapidly freeze on the feathers, adding excessive weight. This is due to rapid icing, therefore lift decreases dramatically, rather than fungal growth which is much slower.
