WBPHS geolocated data and segment effort, 2000-2019

The geolocated counts from 2000 to 2019 for the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey and associated segment effort information. Two data files are included with their associated metadata (html and xml formats).

  1. wbphs_geolocated_counts_2000to2019_forDistribution.csv includes the locations of the plane when survey species observations were made. For each observation, the social group and count is recorded along with a description of the location quality. Number of rows in table = 1,629,772.

  2. wbphs_segment_effort_2000to2019_forDistribution.csv. The survey effort file includes the midpoint latitude and longitude of each segment when known, which can differ by year (as indicated by the version number). If a segment was not flown, it is absent from the table for the corresponding year. Number of rows in table = 57,181.

Not all geolocated records have locations and the mid-point locations of segments surveyed before 2000 are not known with certainty.

Please consult the metadata for an explanation of the fields and other information to understand the limitations of the data.
