Treatment of the received dataset

We imported the received dataset with modifications as follows to better combine with other atlases or to match publication cited above:

  • White-faced Ibis, Peregrine Falcon, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Ring-billed Gull, and Franklin's Gull were mapped in the original publication but are not included here because they were only observed during the atlas period.
  • Osprey, Alder Flycatcher, Golden-winged Warbler, Canada Warbler, and Brewer's Blackbird were not mapped in the original publication but are mapped here because they were reported with data of PO or higher.
  • Alder Flycatcher data for one block are missing but the block could not be specified because the species was not mapped in the original publication.
