| 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:
- Changed the quad name for the southern of the two Friendsville quads to ‘Friendsville MD’ to distinguish between the two.
- Excluded the following species with data of PO or higher because they are listed as "species observed during atlas period but with insufficient evidence to be cinsidered nesting" in the published atlas:
Chukar, Common Loon, Herring Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Common Tern, Red-breasted Merganser, Northern Pintail, Ring-necked Duck, Bewick's Wren, Great Black-backed Gull, Laughing Gull, Forster's Tern, Double-crested Cormorant, Gadwall, Redhead, Ruddy Duck, Little Blue Heron, Golden Eagle, Red Crossbill, and Blackpoll Warbler.
