This data is separated by year into various Waterfowl
Production Areas (WPA's), and bird counts of the following birds are kept
at different points in each WPA:
Marsh, Waterfowl, Raptors and Owls, Gull Terns, Upland Game, Shorebirds,
Woodpeckers, Perching birds, Grass birds, and Other.
Marsh, Waterfowl, Raptors and Owls, Gull Terns, Upland Game, Shorebirds,
Woodpeckers, Perching birds, Grass birds, and Other.
In the counties where more than one WPA is used, the indicator variable WPA is used to differentiate between the various sites.
There are a different number of points at which
observations were made at each WPA. The TYPE variable describes the habitat
type of that point as follows :
10 Native Prairie
50 Woodland
60 Farm Grove/Shelter Belt
The SIZE variable indicates the size of the respective WPA point, in acres.
NOTES
- In 1993, the study was done twice for each point.
- In 1993, Hastad, Hegland, Florida Creek, and Robinhood points did not exist.
- In 1993, Rothi point 12 was not measured.
- In 1994, Rothi point 1 was not done - too wet to get to point.
- In 1995, Rothi point 9 was not done - underwater.
- In 1995, Florida Creek point 3 was not done - underwater.
