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

File: HAB_SQ.TXT

General Description: This summarizes data on land cover types in the squares, as represented by the ONHP land cover. The values are the percent of the square occupied by that cover type. Several hexagons do not contain squares, and for a few others data are missing.

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:
