Description:

Abstract: This data set portrays the current routes used for conducting Breeding Bird Surveys in New York State. This data set was collected using a different roads file from that available through the National Atlas of the United States.

Purpose: The digital data sets are used to create electronic and hard copy maps of the Breeding Bird Survey routes. The data can be used to conduct geographic analysis on national and large regional scales. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:100,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey or by USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in the use of these data.

Supplemental_Information: For a description of the Breeding Bird Survey methods see Robbins, C.S. and W.T. Van Velzen; 1967; The Breeding Bird Survey, 1966; USDOI Migratory Bird Populations Station, Special Scientific Report--Wildlife No. 102; Washington, D.C. Arc/INFO and ArcView are products of Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), 380 New York Street, Redlands, CA 92373. Reference to ESRI products is for information purposes only and does not constitute endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey. This data set was collected using a different roads file from that available through the National Atlas of the United States, so there may be positional differences between the two map layers.

Data_Quality_Information

Logical_Consistency_Report: Arc/INFO software was used to create and maintain topological relationships between features. The Arc/INFO command BUILD was run to ensure the topological consistency of the data set. Each route was checked for missing and dangling arcs, correct length, proper direction, and correct route measures.

Completeness_Report: This data set contains the Breeding Bird Survey Routes in the lower 48 States which were considered active in 1998. This includes many of the routes added in 1998, though not all of them. The discontinued Breeding Bird Survey routes were generally not digitized.

Process_Step:

Process_Description: The Breeding Bird Survey route maps (BBSMAP) for most States were digitized with ArcView 3.0 and the US Streets Database (ESRIDA), which is based on the Tiger files. The arcs forming the routes were selected and shapefiles were created for each route. Routes in Idaho, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia, Washington and part of Maryland were digitized using DeLorme's Street Atlas USA (DLRM). The files were converted to Arc/INFO line coverages by State. BBS routes for Minnesota and Wisconsin were digitized by James M. Sales, University of Minnesota, Duluth, UMD Natural Resources Research Institute, Duluth, MN, 55812. The Virginia routes were provided to us by Jeffrey B. Trollinger, Fish and Wildlife Information System, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, 4010 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23280. The California routes were provided to us by Allan Hollander, University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, 93106. The data was then converted into a format consistent with ours. We used ArcView to add newly created and missing routes to these files. For each State, an Arc/INFO route system was added using the Arc/INFO MEASUREROUTE command. The JOINITEM command was used to add the route name from the BBS Database (BBSDA). The APPEND command was then used to create a single coverage for the National Atlas.

Process_Step:

Process_Description: The coverage was read into Arc/INFO, converted to NAD 83, and converted from the Lambert projection to geographic coordinates. The resulting file was loaded into ArcView with the route system information as one shapefile and the breeding bird survey route arcs as another shapefile. To create a final file containing both the arc information and the route lengths, the tables for the two layers were joined using the rteno item and the two ID numbers from the route coverage were turned off. The resulting file was saved as a shapefile.

Process_Step:

Process_Description: In order to geoprocess spatial files for New York State from the National Atlas Data for distribution in CUGIR, the nationwide data files were added to a map document in ArcInfo 8.2. Using the geoprocessing wizard's clip function, the spatial files were clipped to the detailed New York polygon.
