Breeding Bird Survey

LULC data

NLCD data

Climate Data

Brief description: Surveys are done yearly since 1970 along specific routes. Bird species are counted every 1/2 mile. Land Use/Classification data are available from satellites. Create some buffers around the routes and see how changes in LULC affect specific "indicator species" of birds.
