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:
Decided not to display three species that were confirmed but were ‘masked’: Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, and Spotted Owl. (However, we may eventually develop a way to display those in special areas by designating latitudes and longitudes.)
Distinguished between Greater Sage Grouse and Gunnison Sage Grouse based on known ranges.
