Data supporting the Oregon Breeding Bird Atlas
(see data files for a short introduction.)

File: WHRSTATE.TXT

General Description: Indicates which of 61 habitats (mainly the ONHP classes) are likely to be used by each breeding bird species, and the relative degree of association of the species with that habitat type. Developed by Paul Adamus with input from members of the Breeding Bird Atlas steering committee.

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. Contact us at:
