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 counts of individuals (XX BIRDS) or approximate counts using order of magnitude (e.g., 10s, 100s). In cases where no quantitative count data was available, the field may either be blank or contain descriptive terms such as "HIGH" or "COMMON". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and may range in date.
Allowed Values: Acceptable values change from atlas to atlas.
