Data supporting the Oregon Breeding Bird Atlas
(see data files for a short introduction.)
File: WVBIRDS.XLS
General Description: This Excel-format file consists of 3 spreadsheets. The Habitat Scores spreadsheet indicates which of 31 habitats in the Willamette River Basin are likely to be used by each breeding bird species, and it scores each habitat class on a scale of 0-10 depending on likely suitability. The "Rules" database indicates how the habitat score for a species should be changed if a habitat adjoins water, developed areas, or other features. Assembled by Paul Adamus with partial support and input from the USEPA, and peer-reviewed by 3 local birders. See WHRWV.DOC for full description.

Although we have made the data from this project accessible to anyone,
all the time the authors spent administering this project, as well as time spent
computerizing, organizing, and documenting the data, was uncompensated.
Moreover, not every limitation of the data has been described.
For these reasons, we request that researchers who wish to publish
statistical analyses of these data please contact us first to discuss
the data and opportunities for joint authorship of resulting publications.
Furthermore, we again thank the Oregon Natural Heritage Program and the
USEPA for sharing with us some of the non-avian data sets.
