Occurrence records for Sturnella magna (USA)

Short title: 
Mdwlark

86971 observation records for Eastern Meadowlark. Obtained from the Avian Knowledge Network (see the original query). After you download the data locally, you can convert it to a point map using:

> AKN <- read.delim("AKN_Query_Results_95201085842.txt")
# fix some columns:
> AKN$Observation.Count <- ifelse(is.na(AKN$Observation.Count), AKN$Obs.Count.At.Least, AKN$Observation.Count)
> AKN$Duration.In.Hours <- ifelse(AKN$Duration.In.Hours==0, 0.5, AKN$Duration.In.Hours)
> AKN$Observation.Date <- as.Date(paste(AKN$Observation.Date))
# records in no / area / time (unfortunatelly Survey.Area.Size is missing)
> AKN$Dens <- AKN$Observation.Count/AKN$Duration.In.Hours
> AKN.pnt <- subset(AKN, !is.na(AKN$Longitude)&!is.na(AKN$Latitude)&is.finite(AKN$Dens), 
+      select=c("Global.Unique.Identifier","Longitude","Latitude","Observation.Date",
+      "Dens","Collection.Code","Locality","Survey.Area.Identifier","Observation.Count","Duration.In.Hours"))

# Convert to a point map:
