55546 Entity Published / External 55537 Georgia 2015 ESI BIRD Polygons, Points Data Set Completed The data table BIOFILE contains biological attribute data and key fields for linking to the vector objects in the biological data layers and to the associated data tables, BREED_DT and SOURCES. See the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview for a detailed description of how the primary attribute tables relate to the geographic data layers. Also see the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way this table relates to other attribute tables in the ESI data structure.

Acceptable values vary based on the ELEMENT. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines Will vary based on Element. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines 13 CONC TEXT 20 No No Active The field CONC refers to concentration, abundance or density values, and may contain counts of individuals for each species present at a particular nesting or wintering site, or a term that describes relative abundance of birds at a particular site. The field may contain values from exact counts (e.g., XX BIRDS, XX PAIRS, or XX ADULTS), or binned counts (e.g., 10S, 100S, 1,000S). In cases where no quantitative data were available, the field may contain descriptive terms, such as "HIGH" or "POSSIBLE." If no concentration information was available, the field is populated with "-". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and may range in date (see Lineage). Acceptable values change from atlas to atlas. May be qualitative or a number of individuals. A hyphen “-“ is used to denote no data. 14 JAN TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in January X=present; Bank = not present 15 FEB TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in February X=present; Bank = not present 16 MAR TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in March X=present; Bank = not present 17 APR TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in April X=present; Bank = not present 18 MAY TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in May X=present; Bank = not present 19 JUN TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in June X=present; Bank = not present 20 JUL TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in July X=present; Bank = not present 21 AUG TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in August X=present; Bank = not present 22 SEP TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in September X=present; Bank = not present 23 OCT TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in October X=present; Bank = not present 24 NOV TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in November X=present; Bank = not present 25 DEC TEXT 1 No No Active Presence of species in December X=present; Bank = not present 26 BREED1 TEXT 8 No No Active Values will show a month or range of months (e.g., JAN-MAY) when a particular life stage is observed. A value of "-" indicates the life stage or activity is not present or was not reported. A value of "N/A" indicates that the breed category is not used or not appropriate for the element referenced.
